The design, delivery, and operation of a large-scale infrastructure project is challenging at best. For the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) Prototype Powerplant (SPP), the challenges increase exponentially. In addition to being a large-scale infrastructure project, it is a cutting edge, first of a kind (FOAK) technology demonstrat…

The purpose of the digital workstream is the shorten the pathway to delivering a working fusion pilot plant. As with any development pathway there are rate limiting steps in a programme, a fairly major challenge that is common across fusion concepts is the limited possibility of physical testing with conditions close to that of a first wall environ…

The STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) Programme aims to deliver a UK prototype fusion energy plant, targeting 2040, and a path to commercial viability of fusion. To deliver on this aim, we have performed initial scoping to identify the design point for a spherical tokamak prototype powerplant producing at least 100 MWe of…

UKAEA-CCFE-PR(20)042020
The development of a commercial fusion power plant presents a unique set of challenges associated with the complexity of the systems, the integration of novel technologies, the likely diversity and distribution of the organisations involved and the scale of resources required. A framework for creating a digital environment that integrates researc…
