This is the JET (Joint European Torus) reactor, which is the first (and only) device to produce controlled fusion power with deuterium and tritium. The temperature of the plasma generated by fusion is a whopping 100 million degrees Celsius! UK Atomic Energy Authority #CCFE


Thank you UK Atomic Energy Authority for organising an excellent visit at #CCFE this week with #CoRWM to learn about fusion energy!

And so ends a REALLY busy week for CoRWM, who visited Sellafield Ltd, United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory and, today, @llwrsite with @rwm_gdf_uk. We've learned much about decommissioning and radioactive waste management challenges across the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority estate. More to follow soon...




Listen in to BBC Radio 4 #InsideScience to hear me witter on about my favourite topic, radioactive waste!☢️Thanks so much to marnie chesterton for speaking with me about geological disposal, radwaste from fusion energy and our Fukushima research! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… Materials at TUoS
