The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) invites Oxford Sigma to contribute to the effort to standardise small scale testing techniques for fusion materials qualification.
Oxford Sigma’s team provided an expert training course in fusion energy engineering to the team at M5tec.
Through this business investment, Oxford Sigma will be investigating corrosion performance of materials within high temperature liquid lithium coolant material for fusion energy.
Oxford Sigma is providing specialist engineering services as a Tier 2 supplier on the new Technical Services framework with the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) for the next four years.
M5tec teamed up with Oxford Sigma on the development of a manufacturing plan for the First Wall design of the ambitious UKAEA STEP programme.
