Paper calls for action on fusion non-proliferation

A new paper from the Dalton Nuclear Institute at The University of Manchester examines whether the non-proliferation regime has kept pace with fusion energy as it moves towards commercial deployment. Titled ‘ A new look at non-proliferation for fusion energy ’, the paper sets out practical steps to address emerging gaps and help avoid design reconfiguration, project delays and postponed investment decisions. Fusion energy is transitioning from experimental research towards engineering demonstration, with the UK investing significantly in its development.
