Jacobs was awarded a contract to support the U.K.’s fusion energy research program. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has appointed the company on all lots of its new Plant Maintenance and Operational Support Services (PMOSS) framework.
Under the framework, Jacobs’ project delivery professionals will be embedded in client teams at UKAEA, the U.K.’s national fusion laboratory, to work on some of the world’s most advanced research into machine design, robotics, materials science and fusion fuel. The PMOSS framework focuses on key UKAEA-led programs, including the Tritium Advanced Technology (H3AT) facility, aimed at to exploring fuel storage, breeding and recovery techniques for future fusion powerplants. Jacobs’ specialists will also be available to support other UKAEA facilities, such as Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE), the Material Research Facility (MRF), and Fusion Technology Facility (FTF).
Growth in fusion research is creating new opportunities for Jacobs’ engineers in a range of disciplines, including electrical, control and instrumentation, process plant, mechanical, chemical and nuclear; and for scientists specializing in chemistry, physics and materials.
