The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), and Eni, Italy, collaboration agreement starts with the construction of what is claimed to be the world’s largest and most advanced tritium fuel cycle facility,

UKAEA-Eni H3AT (pronounced ‘heat’) Tritium Loop Facility, located at Culham Campus, will be complete in 2028.

Tritium recovery and reuse will play a fundamental role in the supply and generation of the fuel in future fusion power plants. The facility will provide industry and academia the opportunity to study how to process, store and recycle tritium.

Eni will contribute to the H3AT project with its expertise in managing and developing large-scale projects, helping to de-risk its roadmap.
