Have your say on STEP Fusion’s first public consultation
We are inviting comments from everyone, particularly those who live and work near to the West Burton Site.
The consultation runs from 14 of January to the 11 of March 2026. This consultation is part of the process towards applying for a Development Consent Order (DCO) from the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), that seeks the consenting powers to construct and operate the prototype fusion power plant and its associated development. Your feedback is important and will enable us to take account of your views whilst the proposals are still at an early stage of development and inform the next stage of our design work.
Please note this form does not have the facility to save your answers as you work through, and that by submitting this form you give UKIFS and its partners permission to include your response in reports.
