The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the private Japanese fusion company Kyoto Fusioneering (KF) have signed a Communication Framework Agreement to advance tritium breeding blanket technology from its conceptual stage towards commercialisation. It also lays the for future collaboration on thetritium fuel cycle, as well as remote handling and power conversion technologies.

The pilot facility would use the company’s proprietary fusion synthesis engine. The tokamak would use superconducting magnets to contain and shape the plasma with microwaves directed into the fuel to heat the plasma to over 100 million degrees Celsius. Silicon carbide would be used in the walls of the liquid metal breeding blanket that would breed tritium and carry heat away from the tokamak.
Fuelled primarily by isotopes of hydrogen found in seawater and capable of generating its own fuel during operation, the plant would provide baseload energy without any harmful emissions or long-lived waste, GA said. Capable of operating around the clock, commercialised fusion power plants would provide “sustainable, carbon-free firm energy for generations”.
“Excitement for fusion energy is at an all-time high, with historic interest from private industry and government,” said Anantha Krishnan, senior vice-president of the General Atomics Energy Group. “We look forward to working with our partners to make our vision for economic fusion energy a reality.”
