Hunt starts for nuclear fusion plant construction partner

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has formally opened bidding for separate engineering and construction partners to build the country’s first big fusion energy plant.
The commercial protype plant will be built at the former West Burton coal-fired power station site in Nottinghamshire, and aims to demonstrate net energy from fusion in the 2040s.
Fusion is based on the same physical reactions that power the sun and stars, combining two hydrogen atoms to release large amounts of energy.Important
