UK centre to lead the world in fusion diagnostics

UKAEA launches Diagnostics Innovation Centre of Excellence (DICE) to strengthen UK's position as a world leader in fusion diagnostics.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has launched a national centre to develop the advanced measurement technology needed to make fusion energy a reality.

The Diagnostics Innovation Centre of Excellence (DICE), based at UKAEA’s Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, will strengthen the UK’s position as a world leader in fusion diagnostics – the specialised systems that measure what is happening inside a fusion machine.
