>'Nuclear fusion prototype will be 'UK's Nasa moment'

A nuclear fusion energy plant being built in Nottinghamshire has been described as the "UK's Nasa moment" as it races to become the first of its type in the world.

The experimental work, based at the decommissioned West Burton A power station near Retford, is aimed at creating a new energy source.

The project, called Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), was showcased at a launch event on Tuesday in Gainsborough, just over the border in Lincolnshire.

Nuclear fusion recreates the same process that powers the sun and if plans are approved, backers said the project was expected to be constructed by 2040.

Fuck off shill

>BROOOOOO WE CAN ACHIEVE CLEAN ENERGY BRO JUST GIVE US 10 MORE BILLION POUNDS BRO
get fucked, we could have installed a bunch of nuclear power plants 20 years ago and have cheap reliable energy were it not you faggots being scared of the word "nuclear"

Not an argument.

...and all part of Prime Minister Starmer's Clean Energy plan. King Charles agrees, don't bother him about it.
Once it works, those who created STEP can have exclusive licencing rights to the design that the US can buy, thus making fission obsolete. It'll be cheaper too. And infinitely safer.
