Repurposing and decommissioning (JDR) marks the end of an era in the operation of JET, but the influence on the design, delivery and operation of commercial fusion power plants will continue, with the JDR programme helping to solve challenges of sustainable fusion energy from design through to decommissioning. UKIFS CEO, Paul Methven, and UKAEA Executive Director, Tim Bestwick, explain more.
-------------------------------
UKAEA’s mission is to deliver sustainable fusion energy and maximise scientific and economic impact. Fusion, the process that powers the sun, can play a big part in our carbon-free energy future.
UKAEA leads the world in fusion research with a wide range of programmes covering robotics, materials testing and development, and tritium science. Our scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop fusion as a new source of clean energy for tomorrow’s power stations.
