announcements on fusion energy
On the 11th June the government announced the Spending Review, which includes a record investment in research and development for fusion energy.
The investment of over £2.5 billion over 5 years includes progressing the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), the world-leading fusion plant in Nottinghamshire, creating thousands of new jobs and with the potential to unlock limitless clean power.

UKAEA welcomes the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between UK and Japan, to strengthen our already close bond on developing fusion energy.
Fusion is a global challenge with global solutions and UKAEA looks forward to working with Japanese scientists and innovators to advance fusion energy.
On the 23rd June the government announced the Modern Industrial Strategy. This follows the government’s announcement of £2.5bn investment in fusion and underscores the strong support for UKAEA and the STEP prototype fusion power plant programme.
The strategy says that, ‘the government will advance a holistic UK fusion programme, which seeks to capitalise on the UKAEA’s unique capabilities to address the remaining technical barriers to fusion, while building private sector capacity, capability and skills, and supply chains.’
