"This is really positive and potentially has relevance for all fusion energy projects," Ryan Ramsey, COO at British startup First Light Fusion, explained of this breakthrough.
"The biggest problem isn't the heat, it's neutron damage," said Ramsey, highlighting the crucial challenge that affects the inner walls of nuclear reactors.
Neutron radiation can quickly degrade the inner walls of a nuclear reactor, which can lead to regular shutdowns if not properly managed.
Creating RAFM on an industrial scale is a significant milestone for the UK and could enhance the viability of fusion energy in Europe.
