A UK firm has announced a world-first set of “super” magnets that can be used for testing nuclear fusion power plants.
Tokamak Energy of the UK announced it has built a world-first set of new generation high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets to be assembled and tested in fusion power plant-relevant scenarios.
Nuclear fusion has been hailed as the “holy grail” of clean energy, with scientists working on the technology since the 1950s.
The process involves mimicking the natural reactions that occur within the Sun, providing near-limitless energy without requiring fossil fuels and without producing hazardous waste.
Tokamak Energy is aiming to be the first private company to produce commercial fusion energy, with the goal of demonstrating grid-ready fusion in the early 2030s.
