The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) have partnered on the development of technologies for the management of a hydrogen isotope for nuclear fusion.

Under the collaboration framework agreement, the partnership will focus on tritium management within the fusion cycle to safely remove, process and reinject fuel into plasma continuously.
