The International Atomic Energy Agency is working on the establishment of a technology-neutral framework for fusion reactor safety and “stands ready” to offer a feasibility study that encompasses the full scope of fusion pilot plant criteria for future fusion reactors, director-general Rafael Grossi told the 28th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference.

In his opening remarks to the virtual event, Mr Grossi called on agency member states sponsoring fusion programmes, the emerging fusion industry and the increasing number of private partners to support and jointly participate in the feasibility study, calling it an “international endeavour”. We are going to be actively consulting with all stakeholders.
