The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was formed in 1954 when the British Government set up a new body to oversee the nation's nuclear research programme.
UKAEA is a non-departmental public body (NDPB), under the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
UKAEA researches fusion energy and related technologies, with the aim of positioning the UK as a leader in sustainable nuclear energy.
As part of a renovation and upgrade plan of the Special Techniques Group (STG) capabilities, new diffusion bonding equipment has been identified to be added as a key capability.
This project's scope shall include the design, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of a diffusion bonding furnace for UKAEA's facilities at Oxfordshire. The requirement is to procure a capability to create diffusion bonded joints and components for specified materials.
Currently, in fusion, there is an increased interest in tungsten and its alloys & CuCrZr components.
Diffusion bonding is envisaged as one of the most promising techniques to joint this material.
This procurement will be via a Competitive Dialogue process.
