The UK and US governments signed on September 14, 2026, during the Global Fusion Summit in London, two linked agreements aimed at accelerating AI and advanced computing in nuclear fusion research. The centerpiece partnership brings together the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), two of the world’s most prominent fusion research institutions. These agreements establish a formal framework for collaboration in high-performance computing and AI applied to fusion science, along with a joint regulatory statement to align licensing frameworks and streamline the path from experimental reactor to commercial power plant. The UK government projects over 10,000 new jobs in the country’s fusion sector by 2030.
