The aim of the competition is to develop solutions to fusion energy challenges in two themes for key priority areas. 1. Driving up fusion power plant performance with innovative heating and cooling systems. 2. Improving fusion power plant availability with novel fusion materials, technology, and manufacture. This is phase 1 of a potential 2 phase competition. The decision to proceed with phase 2 will depend on the outcomes from phase 1 and assessment of a separate application into a subsequent phase 2 competition. Only the successful applicants from phase 1 will be invited to apply to take part in phase 2. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Driving up fusion power plant performance with innovative heating and cooling systems. - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 73110000 - **Delivery regions:** UKJ - **Description:** A Pre-Commercial Procurement Activity under SBRI Driving up fusion power plant performance with innovative heating and cooling systems.
