U.K. vision for fusion
The U.K. government has announced a series of initiatives to progress fusion to commercialization, laid out in a fusion strategy policy paper published March 16. A New Energy Revolution: The UK’s Plan for Delivering Fusion Energy begins to describe how the government’s £2.5 billion (about $3.4 billion) investment in fusion research and development over five years will be allocated.

An electrical conductivity probe which provides a means of accurately measuring local void fractions in two-phase flow has been developed. The void fractions obtained with the probe in an air-water mixture agree with those calculated from flow rate data to within about ± 25% of the calculated value. However, an empirical modification of the current-void relationship brought this agreement to within ± 8% for void fractions ranging from 0.19 to 0.77.
