Officials hope this will help the UK maintain its leading position in the field
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has released its five-year plan to accelerate the growth of the UK nuclear fusion industry and ‘maintain the UK’s position as a global thought-leader in the field’.
In March, the UK government announced £2.5 billion for the fusion sector between 2026 and 2030 as part of its industrial strategy.
