UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is the national organisation responsible for the research and delivery of sustainable fusion energy. UKAEA also undertakes cutting-edge work with research organisations and the industrial supply chain in a wide spectrum of areas. One such discipline is robotics, where UKAEA is designing, building and operating intelligent machines for extreme industrial environments, such as decommissioning the Joint European Torus (JET).
UKIFS is delivering STEP, a major technology and infrastructure programme that will demonstrate net energy from fusion, fuel self-sufficiency and a route to plant maintenance. UKIFS will lead STEP’s integrated delivery team with the prototype plant targeting first operations in 2040.
