An experimental nuclear fusion power plant features in today’s Dezeen Weekly newsletter
The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter features a prototype power plant designed by AL_A to test the viability of nuclear fusion technology as a carbon-free energy source.
Set to be built in the UK county of Oxfordshire and completed in 2025, the nuclear power plant will be the first of its kind according to A_LA.
Readers are sceptical of the science behind the technology, with one commenter stating: “Seems to be jumping the gun somewhat. The technology does not yet exist.”

Other stories in this week’s newsletter include a black concrete house in Australia, 10 interiors designed to show off the owners’ art collections and accommodation built from shipping containers for people experiencing homelessness.
