In February, UKAEA’s Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation (LIBRTI) programme hosted its first international conference at Culham Campus. With over 185 attendees, the three-day event marked a significant moment in the future of fusion fuel-cycle innovation.

The conference brought together the global breeder blanket community to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and collaborative opportunities shaping the field. Contributions to the conference included speakers from UKAEA’s LIBRTI team, UKIFS, industry, academia and leading international partners.
