Company

Overview

1954

Year Established

The organization was founded to advance fusion energy technology and secure the UK’s position as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy.

Operates the UK’s national fusion energy research program, which is sponsored by the UK Government’s Department for Energy Security & Net Zero.
Maintains facilities across four sites in the UK, including the Culham Campus in Oxfordshire, the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham, West Burton in north Nottinghamshire, and Whitehaven in Cumbria.
Maintains partnerships with various international organisations and is centrally involved in the ITER project, an industrial-scale demonstration of fusion power currently underway in southern France.

Culture + Values

Designing Fusion Systems

Innovation in Technology

The company focuses on developing cutting-edge fusion systems to revolutionize energy production.

Commitment – We believe in what we do, the importance of our mission, and doing what we can to achieve it.
Trust – We strive to be open, transparent and inclusive, so that everyone we work with believes and values what we say and do.
Collaboration – We believe in the power and importance of working in partnership.

Environment + Sustainability

Four million times more energy.

Energy Output Comparison

Fusion releases almost four million times more energy than traditional fossil fuels like coal, oil, or gas.

Fusion energy is poised to provide a safe, sustainable, and low-carbon energy solution for future generations.
Fusion energy offers a nearly limitless source of green electricity. It uses minimal fuel derived from widely available, inexpensive materials.

Inclusion & Diversity

Dedicated to equal opportunities for all and strive to create a workplace that celebrates the diversity of our employees.
Collaborate with several industry-standard bodies such as Inclusive Companies, Vercida, Women in Nuclear schemes, and Equal Engineers to foster an equitable workplace and support individuals from under-represented groups.
Internal networks include groups for LGBTQ+ members, a women's network, and ENACT, which focuses on ethnicity, nationality, and culture, all designed to foster community and understanding within the organization.
