We've been busy.... If you only watch one video on LinkedIn, make it this one! We've put together highlights from what has been a very exciting 12 months for the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and fusion energy in this inspirational video. One year on from COP26 and our landmark panel discussion; 'Looking to the Future with Fusion Energy', and as COP27 draws to a close, now is the best time to find out about all the great work undertaken by UKAEA, and our plans for the future. ✅ Visit https://ccfe.ukaea.uk #FusionEnergy #FusionIsComing Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), EUROfusion, UN Climate Change #COP27

About us
As the UK’s national fusion lab, the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s mission is to lead the commercial development of fusion power and related technology, and position the UK as a leader in sustainable fusion energy. We are meeting the scientific and engineering challenges that come with such a grand ambition. UKAEA is made up of four main facilities: Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE), Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), Materials Research Facility (MRF), and - in partnership with STFC - the Oxfordshire Advanced Skills (OAS) apprentice training centre. As part of CCFE, we operate the world’s largest fusion device – the Joint European Torus, or JET – on behalf of the European fusion consortium EUROfusion. Connect with us to hear more about our world-class research and career opportunities and to discuss commercial opportunities.

UKAEA recently hosted a school on Open-Source Software for Fusion Engineering Simulation. The school covered the what, why, and how open-source software can be used in scientific and engineering workflows in fusion applications. Attendees were introduced to a host of different software tools that may be useful in the simulation of fusion devices: MOOSE, OpenMC, OpenFOAM, Cardinal and Paraview. As well as the plenary talks there were many opportunities to get stuck in during the hands-on tutorials. Thanks to all who participated, we hope you enjoyed it!

UKAEA, as a part of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Collaboration (RAICo), co-hosted an event titled ‘Harnessing Robotics and AI for Challenging Environments’. The event was held at Energus, Cumbria, gathering almost 300 attendees and exhibitors from the region and across the UK to highlight opportunities to speed up deployment of technology in challenging environments. Attendees heard how embracing robotics and AI can help meet the two global challenges of climate change and energy security. Our CEO, Professor Sir Ian Chapman, shared his vision for the safe deployment of the latest technologies in his keynote speech. He also highlighted the transformative potential of robotics and AI. These technologies not only enhance safety by reducing human risk but also boost productivity and commercialisation efforts in both fission and fusion engineering. To learn more about the event, please visit RAICo’s new website https://lnkd.in/g5DAjAyr
