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.
The Industry Capability programme is an investment to prepare the UK supply chain for the future opportunities with international fusion programmes

and developers. The response to this programme from UK companies has
been amazing, from small start-ups with a handful of technologists to the
UK o ffices of multi-national engineering consultancies. We are very grateful for
the engagement of the community in shaping the programme and delivering
so many quality projects.
A few examples of the excellent projects currently running 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
