The UK fusion Programme is centred on the innovative MAST (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) experiment which is operated by the authority and is based at Culham Science Centre and employs around 150 people. The Programme is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Union under the Euratom treaty MAST has led studies into the spherical Tokamak, a compact fusion concept pioneered at Culham. A major upgrade of the MAST machine is currently underway and this will enhance MAST's role in international research to:
