Armed with £2.5 Billion,
The "UK Atomic Energy Authority"
( #UKAEA ) isn't promising a working commercial fusion reactor by 2030,
though it does want key development milestones in place that will build toward one.
The bulk of that funding will flow into
🔸the "Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production" ( #STEP ) project,
earmarked for a former coal power station site in Nottinghamshire,
🔸and UKAEA's Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, its HQ and home of the
"Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak"
( #MAST ) research programme.

Advanced computing will be central to all of this.

The UK government last month announced
£45 million ($60 million)
for a new AI-driven supercomputer called #Sunrise,
expected online this summer at the Culham Campus.

It is designed to help scientists model the physics of nuclear fusion.
