Inside the UK’s Fusion Revolution: Tokamak Energy & Astral Systems Explain What’s Next

In this Foresight Webinar, we explore the rapidly evolving UK fusion landscape—from near-term commercial applications to long-term clean power generation. Hosted by Tiernan Phipps, this session brings together two industry leaders to unpack the opportunities, technologies, and national strategy shaping the future of fusion in Britain. Speakers: Dr. David Kingham, Executive Vice Chairman, Tokamak Energy Demonstrates real spherical tokamak plasma experiments Explains how high-temperature superconducting magnets unlock compact fusion Reveals new commercial pathways in data centres, life sciences & defence Discusses how fusion fits into the UK's wider industrial strategy Talmon Firestone, CEO, Astral Systems Showcases compact fusion devices that operate continuously Explains solid-state fusion breakthroughs inspired by NASA research Highlights the world-first achievement in tritium breeding using fusion neutrons Shows how fusion can solve critical shortages in medical isotopes Introduces fusion–fission hybrid concepts for neutron multiplication and waste transmutation Together they explore: The Clean Power 2030 mission Tritium supply challenges and decentralised breeding Commercialising fusion before grid electricity The role of UK policy, STEP, and public–private partnerships How fusion R&D is already creating valuable spin-off industries This is one of the most comprehensive and accessible explorations of how the UK can become a global fusion leader—scientifically, industrially, and commercially.
