So who works in fusion energy then?

Will D

Hi everyone Wave

As you may have noticed, fusion energy development is gaining momentum and there's been significant investment by the private sector for a few years now. The UK leads the way in fusion energy research and the UK government seems to be making fusion energy a key focus with significant investment, such as the STEP project. Amongst all the professional engineering institutions, the IET is the most natural home for the professional hub of "fusioneering" because most fusion energy devices are fundamentally electrical machines. I think the IET should be leading the way in furthering the engineering aspects of fusion energy, however first we need to organise ourselves and understand who our members are and where our expertise is. We don't have a "fusion energy technical network", so the most natural home for us for now is the Nuclear Engineering Technical Network  Nuclear engineering, which I am part of.

So, who amongst us also works in fusion energy, like me?

Cheers,

  • I'm working on robotics for fusion energy. There are definitely a large number of engineers working on fusion in the UK and internationally.

    Hi Rob!

    Thanks for replying and joining the discussion, great to hear from you. I heard your name from my IET colleague Barry Brooks who I believe you met recently at CCFE. I gather you're quite an active IET member?

    Cheers,

    Will

    Hi Will, yes fairly active, I've just joined the Robotics and Mechatronics TC and keen to contribute. Yes, Barry has been very helpful! Happy to discuss what we can do to support engineers working in fusion.
