UK logs record $3.4B for world's first prototype nuclear fusion plant
The UK government has committed a record £2.5 billion ($3.4 billion) to develop the world’s first prototype nuclear fusion power plant, known as STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production). This ambitious project will be constructed on the site of the former West Burton A coal power station in Nottinghamshire, marking a significant transition from fossil fuels to clean, futuristic energy technology. STEP aims to replicate the sun’s fusion process by heating hydrogen isotopes to 150 million degrees Celsius and confining them with powerful magnetic fields to generate carbon-free electricity. The initiative is central to the UK’s strategy to become a “clean energy superpower” and is expected to create over 10,000 jobs in the region, spanning construction through to operations. This investment reflects a broader global trend of substantial funding in nuclear fusion technology from governments and corporations alike. For example, Google has recently invested in TAE Technologies, which announced a breakthrough in fusion reactor readiness, while US scientists secured $2.3
