In a paper outlining the government’s fusion strategy, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said the realisation of fusion energy will require continued collaboration with other nations and international organisations, with academia and technical experts, and with businesses and industry groups all around the world.
“The challenges of fusion energy remain considerable,” the paper says. “As with any technically demanding goal, there will be setbacks. However, advances in fusion science and engineering capabilities mean that there is increasing confidence in the fusion sector’s ability to overcome these.”
The paper says the “overarching goals” of the fusion strategy are for the UK to demonstrate the commercial viability of fusion by building a prototype fusion power plant in the UK that puts energy on the grid; and for the UK to build a world-leading fusion industry which can export fusion technology around the world in subsequent decade.
