UKAEA is a UK government research organisation responsible for the development of fusion power and wishes to establish a unique research facility employing at least 30 highly skilled jobs.

The project has constructed a dedicated building of 2,500 sq.m which is being used to develop joining technologies for various materials including novel metals and ceramics, and then to evaluate the materials and components under test conditions that will simulate those that would be experienced inside a fusion device.

This project, which has completed, includes a contribution from the Government’s Local Growth Fund resources which is part of the Government’s continued investment in the Northern Powerhouse.

SYMCA LGF allocation: £2,200,000
Total project cost: £22,000,000

A full record of endorsements and approvals is held on file at the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority offices.
