What Determines the Economics of a Future Fusion Power Station?
• Cost of the power station – not cost of fuel which is very small
• Power output – depends on developments in plasma physics, materials, technology and engineering
• Availability – what fraction of time the plant is running, depends on design, reliability, component lifetime and maintenance schemes
• What is the point of considering this during R&D phase?– Identifying the main levers for improving economics helps to
guide the R&D programme

What Determines the Economics of a Future Fusion Power Station?
• Cost of the power station– UKAEA is exploring smaller and cheaper spherical tokamak
fusion plants via MAST-U
• Power output– UKAEA is developing optimal ITER scenarios on JET and viable
exhaust schemes integrated with high performance plasma scenarios on MAST-U
• Availability– UKAEA are testing irradiated materials properties and
developing materials fabrication techniques in MRF
– UKAEA is developing robotics maintenance schemes in RACE

UKAEA vision for delivering fusion
• A programme with priorities set by the needs for commercialisation of fusion
• UKAEA has a unique set of skills uniting all the major “device-defining” aspects of a fusion reactor
• Want the UK to remain central to international efforts
