The UK Government Just Gave a Massive Boost to the World's Largest Fusion Reactor


Created for the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) fusion research programme at the Science Centre, many hope that this £86m government investment will help to develop fusion reactor technology for the first nuclear fusion power plants. In one, researchers will explore how to process and store tritium, which is a potential fuel source for commercial fusion reactors. But, while these are separate efforts, they are part of a much larger initiative, known as ITER, to elevate the potential of nuclear fusion and make it a realistically viable power source. And, as opposed to traditional nuclear energy, there is little-to-no nuclear waste created from energy production. Existing commercial, renewable energy sources are providing people around the world with the ability to break free from fossil fuels.
