T/MW108/20 - STEP Cryogenic Seal Technology Development

There is a requirement to develop unique cryogenic seals to support the commercial development of fusion energy supply, in the longer term to the national grid. The purpose of this procurement package is to support the development of such cryogenic seals in association with a technology partner. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) would like to appoint a technology partner or partners for the development of cryogenic sealing technology capable of a multitude of simultaneous connections, enabled by remote operations. The development program is expected to be stage-gated and a collaborative effort between the partner(s) and UKAEA with UKAEA providing seed contract funding in an Innovation Partnership (INP) framework.
