The Materials Processing Institute (MPI) has played a crucial role in the UK’s first large-scale production of fusion-ready steel – a groundbreaking development that promises to significantly lower manufacturing costs for advanced structural materials while enhancing the efficiency of future nuclear fusion power plants.
The breakthrough was delivered through the NEURONE (Neutron Irradiation of Advanced Steels) Consortium, a £12 million collaboration led by the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) Materials Division, MPI and a network of academic and industrial partners.
