Where is fusion technology likely to have the biggest impact outside of energy? - HOW WILL FUSION BE FUNDED?
What is required across of public and private funding to ensure fusion makes it to market?
Prof. Ian Chapman, UK Atomic Energy Authority Chief Executive, said:
We are thrilled to be bringing FUSION22 to the iconic Science Museum this October. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase the many exciting developments happening in the world of fusion right now, and hear from the people striving to deliver safe, sustainable, low carbon electricity to the grid. It’s never been clearer that changes are needed to protect the planet for future generations, and fusion energy offers so much potential. But it’s also one of the greatest scientific and engineering challenges of them all. FUSION22 brings us together to face these challenges head on, because together we believe fusion is coming.
