Good news! When will nuclear fusion take over nuclear fission to generate power?
"The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has released its five-year plan to accelerate the growth of the UK nuclear fusion industry and ‘maintain the UK’s position as a global thought-leader in the field’.
In March, the UK government announced £2.5 billion for the fusion sector between 2026 and 2030 as part of its industrial strategy.
UKAEA’s plan – released earlier this month – assigns
£1.3 billion for the next phase of the UK’s prototype fusion power plant in West Burton, Nottinghamshire, as well as
£920 million for building and operating fusion research facilities across the UK. The rest of the budget is set for projects that foster international collaboration and develop the next generation of fusion scientists. ..."
