DESCRIPTION:In 2018 the Joint European Torus (JET) at Culham will attempt 
 to break its own 16MW fusion power record.  I will describe the physics pr
 ogress that makes us optimistic about success.  ITER — the international
  experiment being built in France — has been designed to achieve a full 
 self sustained fusion burn.  This will be the scientific demonstration tha
 t fusion is possible.  Attention is switching to a harder question — mak
 ing fusion a practical source of electricity.  It is clear that fusion pow
 er will make huge demands on engineering performance.  As a case study I w
 ill describe recent studies at Culham of fusion blankets — the primary h
 eat exchanger and the place where tritium is bred from Lithium.
