The United States Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deepen collaboration on fusion energy. The agreement, which follows the King’s Address to the Joint Meeting of Congress, outlines a program that spans scientific, academic and educational cooperation. It includes reciprocal staff exchanges, joint projects and access to major research facilities, as well as shared work on ITER diagnostics, advanced computing and wider information sharing. UKAEA will bring its decades of experience operating world‑leading fusion facilities, while PPPL will contribute its expertise from flagship experiments. The partnership aims to advance the physics and technology needed for future commercial fusion power plants.
