The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is leading research in the generation of energy from fusion technology, primarily using the Joint European Torus (JET) vessel located at Culham. The current Remote Handling (RH) Safety System, otherwise known as the Emergency Stop System (EMS), has been in use for many years. The system is due to be upgraded and replaced with a modern, fit for purpose, Performance Level (PL) rated system to enable the Remote Handling (RH) plant to operate well into the future.
