Thank you @UKAEAofficial for organising an excellent visit at #CCFE this week with #CoRWM to learn about fusion energy!

[Prof Claire Corkhill @clairecorkhill]

This is the JET (Joint European Torus) reactor, which is the first (and only) device to produce controlled fusion power with deuterium and tritium. The temperature of the plasma generated by fusion is a whopping 100 million degrees Celsius! @UKAEAofficial #CCFE
