The facility in Whitehaven, known as RAICo1, will be used by Sellafield Ltd, supply chain partners and academia to develop technologies needed for decommissioning

Researchers produced 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy, more than double the previous record in 1997

His Royal Highness witnessed the largest operating tokamak in action and discussed the low carbon energy mix of the future

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has identified five priorities on work for necessary component materials

Sellafield Ltd held a three-day trial of Spot, the mobile robot dog developed by Boston Dynamics, at the Calder Hall nuclear power station which is currently being decommissioned

The collaboration will apply the latest computing systems, supercomputing and data science expertise to fast-track the development of efficient fusion energy

Canada’s General Fusion has signed an agreement with the UK Atomic Energy Authority to develop and operate its fusion demonstration plant at the Culham Campus, home to the UK’s national fusion research programme

They have signed a memorandum of understanding for the partnership, which will see new research groups established by the university in the key areas of tritium and digital engineering

A new study has found that for every £1 invested in the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s fusion research from 2009 and 2019, £4 is generated in return

The facility is expected to help commercialise nuclear fusion as a major source of low carbon electricity
