Speakers from the fusion research programme, industry and academia will bring you up to date with the latest progress in the biggest technical challenges - heating a gas of fuels to 150 million degrees C; exhausting immense heat loads, devising neutron resistant structural materials and making the whole thing remotely maintainable.
This conference includes an exclusive opportunity to take a technical tour of JET and the UKAEAs new robotics and materials research facilities.
