Four innovative organisations have been supported by UKAEA to develop a range of engineering solutions to deliver fusion energy for future generations.
EDF (UK) R&D, in partnership with the University of Bristol, Urenco and UKAEA, will receive £7.73 million to develop a hydrogen storage demonstrator.
UKAEA and the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre, have partnered with technology pioneer, IBM, to work on designing future experimental fusion power plants.
The Joint European Torus (JET) continues its 40-year legacy of world-leading research and development to inform and enable a sustainable fusion energy sector
UKAEA’s FOSTER programme supports the delivery of industrial expertise into UK universities.
JDR has finished clearing JET’s most significant power building, allowing UKAEA to begin converting it as the new home of the LIBRTI fusion research programme.
A joint study at the Joint European Torus, investigating the impact of neutrons on electronics, will be a vital step for future fusion facilities.
The role of the Joint European Torus (JET) in leading international research into fusion energy is continuing long after the end of plasma operations.
The Joint European Torus celebrates four decades of record-breaking progress in fusion energy.
