A report commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council outlines predicted economic benefits of the UK's prototype fusion energy power plant to be built at West Burton near Retford.

A memorandum of understanding has been signed by representatives from politics, business and science aimed at establishing a laser-based nuclear fusion power plant at the former Biblis nuclear power plant in the German state of Hesse by 2035.

The Sunbird nuclear fusion rocket concept has the potential to more than halve the time to travel to Mars and cut travel time to Pluto to about four years, the UK's Pulsar Fusion says.

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and Italian multinational energy company Eni SpA have entered into a collaboration agreement to jointly conduct research and development activities in the field of fusion energy. The collaboration primarily starts with the construction of the world's largest and most advanced tritium fuel cycle facility.

Fusion for Energy, in collaboration with the AMW consortium consisting of Ansaldo Nucleare, Westinghouse and Walter Tosto, has completed the manufacturing of the second European sector of the Vacuum Vessel for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.

The UK's First Light Fusion is to focus on commercial partnerships with other fusion companies who want to use its amplifier technology, as well as with non-fusion applications such as NASA seeking to replicate potential high-velocity impacts in space.

Munich-based Proxima Fusion and its partners have published a new peer-reviewed paper presenting Stellaris, the world's first integrated concept for a commercial fusion power plant designed to operate reliably and continuously.

The SMART tokamak - an experimental fusion device designed, built and operated by the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory of the University of Seville, Spain - has generated its first plasma.

Specialists at JSC NIIEFA and MISIS have developed a composite of tungsten and copper, using additive technologies, for the plasma-facing elements of the tokamak divertor of Russia's prototype TRT tokamak nuclear fusion reactor.
