AtkinsRéalis spearheads a world-leading fusion engineering consortium of companies and brings a decade of knowledge across multiple international programs to PPPL, which continues its pioneering program of developing solutions for the creation of fusion energy to fuel the next generation of electricity production.
- AtkinsRéalis spearheads a world-leading fusion engineering consortium of companies and brings a decade of knowledge across multiple international programs to PPPL, which continues its pioneering program of developing solutions for the creation of fusion energy to fuel the next generation of electricity production.
- "This work represents a significant opportunity for AtkinsRéalis to contribute to a highly visible national and international priority program, bolstering the field of fusion research and implementation," said Joe St. Julian, President, Nuclear, AtkinsRéalis.
- To support its work in the U.S., AtkinsRéalis will leverage its well-established European fusion capabilities and extensive collaboration with strategic partners such as the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), where an AtkinsRéalis led consortium are serving as the Engineering Delivery Partner for Tranche 1 of the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) program.
- The UK and the US have a long history of collaborative efforts in fusion energy research and development, including for example PPPL-UKAEA Fusion Fellowships, and recently announced a new strategic partnership to make fusion energy commercially viable.
