UK Atomic Energy Authority

The UK Atomic Energy Authority leads the world in fusion research and development including plasma and tritium science, robotics, materials testing and development. Our top scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop fusion as a new source of clean energy for generations to come. We are responsible for the research and delivery of sustainable fusion energy in the UK. This includes: • running the fusion machine MAST-Upgrade (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) • transitioning JET (Joint European Tokamak) from plasma operations to repurposing and decommissioning – insight from this process will contribute to the advancement of sustainable future fusion power plants • working as a fusion partner for STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production), a major technology and infrastructure programme that will demonstrate net energy from fusion, fuel self-sufficiency and a route to plant maintenance • engaging in the Fusion Futures programme that aims to foster world-leading innovation whilst stimulating general industry capacity through international collaboration and skills development • undertaking cutting-edge work with research organisations and the industrial supply chain in a wide spectrum of areas, including robotics and materials Connect with us to hear more about our world-class research and career opportunities and to discuss commercial opportunities.
