The global race to combat the harmful effects of climate change is on, with countries now looking at how they will pave the way for a net-zero future. Fusion engineering, which looks at the process of nuclear fusion, is one of these developments.
Fusion Engineering Training
Fusion energy technology is at the forefront of leading the UK into a future of sustainable energy. Taking steps like making training in the field available will help the UK secure its place as a global leader.
The Centre for Doctoral Training is a pioneering programme that will provide engineers with the specialist knowledge needed in order to make advancements in the field of fusion engineering. It will be led by some of the most prestigious universities in the UK and will allow eventual “fusioneers” limitless opportunities in the future to design, build, and operate the world’s first-ever fusion power plants.
This specialist and high-end, hands-on training will pave the way in the future for clean energy by bridging any gaps in expertise so that the UK’s vision can become a reality.
Technology in Fusion Engineering
As well as developments in fusion engineering, the UK is catapulting itself into a position of being a global leader when it comes to sustainable energy.
Historical nuclear energy sites across the country are being decommissioned with the assistance of AI and robotics technology, led by pioneering collaborations such as RAICo. This allows work to be carried out in a safe, fast, and cost-effective manner. More information can be found at //raico.org/.
Organisations and collaborations such as RAICo can also utilise AI and robotics technology to assist with challenges in the fusion engineering process. They will likely play a substantial role within the field and its future development and roll-out.
