The UK Atomic Energy Authority바카라 사이트檚 pursuit of commercial fusion is an 바카라 사이트渆xample of the vision the UK needs to pursue바카라 사이트� to see through the 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 commitment to spend 2.4 per cent of GDP on science and research, according to new Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation Chris Skidmore.
Mr Skidmore visited the UK바카라 사이트檚 new fusion experiment MAST Upgrade and the European research device JET at Culham Science Centre today, in addition to delivering a keynote speech on science policy at UKAEA바카라 사이트檚 RACE robotics facility.
바카라 사이트淭he work of UKAEA here at Culham will help make British fusion power a reality 바카라 사이트� this kind of national endeavour is a great example of the vision we need to pursue to deliver the 2.4% R&D target,바카라 사이트� he said. 바카라 사이트淲orld-class science, tackling a big global challenge, deeply embedded in the real world and in its community.바카라 사이트�
In addition to talking about charting a path to an economy investing in science, research and innovation, the minister said one urgent priority was ensuring that as the UK leaves the European Union, it has the 바카라 사이트渞ight relationship with European research programmes and with the wider world of science and research.바카라 사이트�
Mr Skidmore added: 바카라 사이트淭he Joint European Torus is one of the most impressive international scientific facilities not just in the UK, but perhaps in the world. It symbolises the application of world-leading research and engineering to tackle one of the world바카라 사이트檚 greatest challenges: the challenge of clean energy.바카라 사이트�
During his visit he also met apprentices and staff from Culham바카라 사이트檚 new apprentice training centre.
바카라 사이트淧laces like these are providing the skills our country needs for the future - they are training both the next generation of nuclear researchers and apprentices for businesses across Oxfordshire and beyond,바카라 사이트� he commented.
Ian Chapman, UKAEA바카라 사이트檚 CEO, said: 바카라 사이트淲e were delighted the Minister chose UKAEA as the place to outline the 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 commitment to science.
바카라 사이트淔usion energy바카라 사이트檚 huge potential is well known and the research is entering the delivery era. 바카라 사이트 support in funding new UKAEA facilities like RACE, the Materials Research Facility and the National Fusion Technology Platform allows us to be at the centre of this.바카라 사이트�
The Minister also visited , one of the thriving technology businesses on the Culham Science Centre site that are helping to cement Oxfordshire바카라 사이트檚 international reputation for science and innovation.
