Fusion Tutorial 1: What is fusion? 31:47
This is a series of six explainers covering the very basics of fusion and fusion energy research. In this first tutorial we introduce some key concepts to understand what fusion is, presented by Nikolaus Muldal, UKAEA Education & Outreach Manager.
The History of Fusion Research and Culham 53:08
Learn about the history of fusion and the Culham Science Centre in this webinar recording hosted by UKAEA’s Communications Director, Chris Warrick.
Autonomous robotic inspection deployment in the Joint European Torus (JET) 3:27
UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) achieved a first-of-a-kind fusion environment deployment of an autonomous robot in the UKAEA’s Joint European Torus (JET) facility for 35 days.

Research resources
Software developed at UKAEA and made available for research collaborators.
FISPACT-II
FISPACT-II is a multi-physics platform providing a wide variety of advanced simulation methods and employing the most up-to-date and complete nuclear data for both neutron and charged-particle interactions.
PROCESS
PROCESS is a System code that explores the conceptual design and feasibility of a future fusion power plant. It finds a set of parameters that optimises criteria chosen by the user (such as cost of electricity or ratio of fusion power to input power), while being consistent with the inputs and the specified constraints.
SPILADY
SPILADY is a spin-lattice molecular dynamics simulation code for undergraduate students, scientists and researchers.
Bluemira
Bluemira is an integrated inter-disciplinary design tool for future fusion reactors. It incorporates several modules, some of which rely on other codes, to carry out a range of typical conceptual fusion reactor design activities.
