DESCRIPTION:The Joint European Torus (JET) at Culham has achieved a fusion
  power output of 16MW. In 2017-18 we will try to break this record.  The n
 ext step is a self sustaining fusion burn in ITER the international experi
 ment under construction in France.  However  to make commercial electricit
 y from fusion we need to reduce the cost and scale of fusion devices.  I w
 ill describe the physics that determines the scale and the cost.  The MAST
 -U device which will start operation later this year  is designed to creat
 e fusion  onditions at small scale.  I will also describe the innovations 
 that will be tested in MAST-U.
