At Culham we operate a policy of open information and try to publicise our fusion research widely. To that end we run special tours of our working faciliites and our general policy for such visits is given below. |

School, College and University Outreach |
UKAEA Fusion at Culham in Oxfordshire, who operate JET as well as the UK's own fusion experiment "MAST", run a vigorous education outreach programme. Opportunities are available for groups of people in full time education to visit the MAST and JET fusion experiments during working week days. A typical visit lasts around 2-3 hours (i.e. a whole morning or afternoon) and the maximum number of visitors is normally thirty. As there is a waiting list of typically three months for such visits, early booking is strongly advised. Presentations and tours are tailored to the age group concerned and for A-level physics visitors we can provide workbooks for pre- and post-visit work relating to fusion and the curriculum. Also available is the possibility for a scientist to visit primary or secondary schools to talk about, and demonstrate, the basics of fusion science.
