IET Devon and Cornwall Events

Fusion is inherently safer than fission due to the absence of nuclear chain reactions. However, operating fusion power plants will not be risk free. There will still be numerous hazards that will need careful management in order to safely build, operate and ultimately decommission a fusion power plant. Ensuring a robust safety demonstration that covers all radiological and non-radiological hazards is therefore vitally important for the future permissioning and consenting of fusion power plants.

This event explores how modern manufacturing methods are transforming the delivery of infrastructure and construction projects. Increasing pressure on cost, speed, quality, sustainability, and skills is driving a shift away from purely traditional construction approaches toward manufacturing-led models based on standardisation, modularity, and integrated supply chains.
