Robots Deliver Active Cells Facility - UK Atomic Energy Authority

There’s a buzz in the air at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Sweden as robotic equipment slots into place at the site’s Active Cells Facility. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) James Davies describes how the facility will operate – all without humans ever entering the building. UKAEA’s mission is to deliver sustainable fusion energy and maximise scientific and economic impact. Fusion, the process that powers the sun, can play a big part in our carbon-free energy future. UKAEA leads the world in fusion research with a wide range of programmes covering robotics, materials testing and development, and tritium science. Our scientists and engineers are working with partners around the globe to develop fusion as a new source of clean energy for tomorrow’s power stations.
