Jonathan Flint, Chief Executive, says "We have something special at Oxford Instruments. Our skills and expertise, the drive for innovation and success and a long history of giving our customers the tools and systems they really need. Now more than ever we have opportunities to take advantage of the new funding for research into energy saving devices, environmental preservation or fundamental physics research. When the economy revives, we will be ready, and I look forward to the challenges of the next fifty years."
*The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy or 'Fusion for Energy' is an organization established in 2007 with the main objective of providing Europe's contribution to ITER. The facility is being built in Cadarache, France, a research center for nuclear energy created in 1959 by the Commissariat al'Energie Atomique.

Nuclear fusion taps energy from reactions like those that heat the Sun, using fuel sources that are abundantly available, and accessible to all nations. Fusion is seen as a cleaner approach to power production than nuclear fission and fossil fuels. The ITER device will make extensive use of niobium-tin superconducting magnets to contain the fusion reaction. More than 500 tonnes of niobium-tin superconducting strand will be used in the construction of the ITER magnets, of which 95 tonnes are expected to be sourced in the EU.
