Simvue was developed by the Computing Division at UKAEA to address the complexities in monitoring and tracking simulations in fusion research. Working with the Technology Transfer Hub, the team has proactively broadened its functionality to serve various sectors, including climate modelling, astronomy and fire risk safety.
At UKAEA, advancing fusion technology remains central to our mission. A key area of focus is the development of highly efficient cooling and tritium breeding technologies for future fusion power plants. These plants will require cutting-edge solutions to manage extreme heat, protect superconducting magnets, and sustain fuel production.
The Fusion Technology Group at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is spearheading an innovative approach to engineering design validation through the Virtual Qualification Framework (VQF). This project aims to transform traditional methodologies by integrating simulation, experimental optimisation, and advanced data science, paving the way for high-performance engineering solutions in fusion technology and beyond.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has developed a pioneering optical viewport technology designed specifically for quantum applications. This innovative solution addresses the limitations of traditional optical components, which often are unable to address the demanding combination of performance requirements required for quantum experiments.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is advancing fusion energy research through the Fusion Computing Lab programme. Launched in partnership with the STFC Hartree Centre, Fusion Computing Lab leverages cutting-edge supercomputing, AI, and data analytics to accelerate the development of fusion power plants…
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was appointed by First Light Fusion (First Light) in 2021 to independently validate their fusion experiment results in the inertial confinement approach to fusion. This case study highlights how the independent validation and modelling capabilities of the UKAEA supported the objectives of First Light Fusion.
UKAEA not only organises events on behalf of external organisations and associations, but our own events, both on-site and off-site, covering everything from supply chain to open evenings, tours and outreach.
You can also find us exhibiting at conferences around the world.
