“One of the roles the Fusion Cluster plays is telling people that not only is fusion coming, but there is value from it even years before we’ve got the first fusion power plants, because we’ve got these enabling technologies emerging,” says @valeriejamieson
Delighted to see coverage on the @FusionCluster's goals and priorities in The Observer yesterday.
The Cluster is playing a vital role in demonstrating that not only is fusion coming, but there are also huge benefits that it will deliver along the way.

Key moments and highlights from FUSION24 last month #FusionIsComing
New report out from @Fusion_Industry reveals status of the emerging fusion industry
- total investment in fusion energy rises to over $7.1 billion
- govt funding up 57% in 12 months to $426m
- more than 1,000 new jobs in past 12 months
and much, much more

BREAKING - UK to pursue domestic fusion programme rather than rejoin Euratom gov.uk/government/news/uk-jo…
In the same week that gain was confirmed in inertial fusion, @FLFusion and @tractebel announce a partnership to advance the design and development of Machine 4. M4's goal is to demonstrate gain using inertial fusion using a simpler projectile rather than many high-power lasers
New announcement: We are partnering with @tractebel – global engineering leaders – on the development of our Gain demonstrator, Machine 4.
Our plans for M4 at @UKAEAofficial's Culham site are developing at pace.

ALT First Light founder & CEO Dr Nick Hawker with Denis Dumont, Chief Global Nuclear Officer at Tractebel, on top of Machine 3 at First Light Fusion's facilities in Oxford.
Repeat experiment at National Ignition Facility @lasers_llnl has shown fusion gain, confirming that inertial fusion works ft.com/content/a9815bca-1b9d…
Key takeaway: NIF shows inertial fusion works. Same approach is being advanced by several fusion enery companies who have plotted the path to commerical fusion energy. #FusionIsComing
As the first head of UK Industrial Fusion Solutions, David Gann brings a huge depth and breadth of experience
The Minister for fusion energy, @AndrewBowie_MP, has appointed Professor @DavidMGann CBE as the inaugural Chair of UK Industrial Fusion Solutions (UKIFS). UKIFS is the delivery body for STEP – a prototype fusion energy plant to be built at West Burton in Nottinghamshire...

Congratulations @TokamakEnergy
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve been awarded our eighth INFUSE grant by @ENERGY. The Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program was set up to accelerate #fusionenergy development through public-private research partnerships, combining the expertise and resources of private companies and U.S. national laboratories and universities.
Tokamak Energy Inc., our U.S. subsidiary, will team up with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, to assess the impact of helium produced by neutron activation on structural materials, helping to progress the design of fusion power plants as #fusion moves to commercial delivery ⚡
Samara Levine, @TokamakEnergy Irradiation Damage Specialist, said: “As we continue to make progress on the design of a fusion pilot plant, it will be increasingly important to understand the effects of helium on structural components. Doing so will enable us to make informed material selections and design decisions for our first plant and beyond.”
Earlier this year, Tokamak Energy Inc. was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to be part of its multimillion-dollar Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program, its bold decadal vision for delivering commercial fusion.
