UK Atomic Energy Authority is transitioning JET from plasma operations to a repurposing and decommissioning programme (called JDR) which will last until c.2040. Chief Executive Officer, Sir Ian Chapman, Executive Director of Robotics, Repurposing and Decommissioning, Rob Buckingham, and Executive Director of Strategy, Communications and Business Development, Tim Bestwick, describe how important JDR is for the Authority's overall strategy to deliver sustainable fusion energy.
-------------------------------
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.
