Harnessing the Power of Stars on Earth
Bring your questions and curiosity as you discover just how on Earth we are creating star-power and see two of the leading facilities responsible for this ground-breaking research, pushing us closer to delivering fusion energy for all!
Date: Wednesday 18th March
Time: 18:00 start
Venue: Culham Campus
Our Open Evenings offer you a unique opportunity to see in-person some of the amazing work we are doing to develop sustainable fusion energy. You will receive an introductory talk covering the basics of fusion energy, followed by tours of the world record breaking Joint European Torus (JET) and the Materials Research Facility (MRF). These tours will be led by engineers, scientists, and technicians, who either worked on or are helping to decommission JET or working in MRF – so you are guaranteed a genuine insight into what it’s like to work in fusion and have the opportunity to directly ask our passionate researchers anything about our work here at UKAEA.
You are welcome to attend with friends and family, but please note there is a maximum of 10 tickets per group. There is a minimum age limit of 12 years old. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please note that the tour involves a substantial amount of walking and that hard hats are worn for part of the tour.
