Industry Capability

Industry capacity and capability development that secures economic value in the UK.

Overview

The UK aims to create an industrial sector that leads the world in operationalising and commercialising fusion energy. UKAEA has collaborated with industry and engaged with hundreds of suppliers. We have awarded over 200 contracts with a total value of around £9 million.

A few examples of the excellent projects include:

  • DELPHI (Device for Exposure to Low energy Plasmas of Hydrogen Isotopes)
  • inspection systems of in-service and in-vessel fusion components
  • materials testing to support ITER TBM (Test Blanket Modules) qualification
