  The energy departments of the US and UK governments are to partner with Tokamak Energy for a USD52 million upgrade of the ST40 fusion facility, which will coat its inner wall with lithium. ;

The article from World Nuclear News discusses a partnership between Tokamak Energy, a UK-based fusion company, and the US Department of Energy's Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, along with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). This collaboration aims to enhance the ST40 tokamak, a compact spherical tokamak designed for fusion research. The project focuses on upgrading the ST40 to achieve higher plasma temperatures and longer confinement times, which are crucial for advancing fusion energy technology. The partnership will leverage expertise and resources from both countries to push forward the development of fusion power, with goals to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as a clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy source. This initiative is part of broader international efforts to make fusion energy a practical reality, highlighting the strategic importance of fusion in future energy landscapes.
