  • Two British public sector entities - the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Hartree Centre - have teamed up with US-headquartered technology firm IBM to design future experimental fusion power plants.

The article from World Nuclear News discusses a new partnership between the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the US-based Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) aimed at developing fusion power plant designs. This collaboration seeks to leverage CFS's expertise in high-temperature superconducting magnet technology, which is crucial for the development of compact fusion devices. The partnership will focus on creating designs that could potentially lead to the construction of fusion power plants in the UK, contributing to the global effort to achieve practical fusion energy. The initiative is part of a broader push towards making fusion energy, which promises a nearly limitless, clean energy source, a commercial reality. The partnership also aligns with the UK's ambition to become a leader in fusion technology, supported by significant government and private sector investments.
