Summary 

Britain has been using nuclear power to produce electricity since 1956. Today 
over 20% of our electricity comes from this source.

Britain already has more than 20 years experience of operating fast reactors. 
The PFR at Dounreay commissioned in 1976, is a 250 megawatt design. A full 
size commercial station of 1200 MN has been built in France.

The British fusion research effort is part of a European programme under the 
auspices of Euratom. The centre-piece of this programme is the JET (Joint 
European Torus) device at Culham in Oxfordshire. After JET the next step could 
be a demonstration fusion reactor.
