UK Atomic Energy Authority strategy 2026 to 2030

Details

This document represents the first strategy for the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) since its subsidiary company UK Fusion Energy Ltd (UKFE) was set up in 2024 (as UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd) and the remainder of UKAEA's fusion research activities were considered to constitute UKAEA's National Fusion Laboratory. This strategy has been published alongside UKFE's first strategy.

Global interest in fusion as a transformative source of low carbon, secure energy in the future continues to increase. In that context, UKAEA would welcome thoughts and ideas from partners in the UK and around the world on this new approach to its strategy.
