Scientists at UK Atomic Energy Authority have successfully produced fusion-grade steel on a large scale.

Breakthrough in high-performance steel could remove one of the biggest obstacles to fusion energy.

New type of steel can take temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius ( 1,202 degrees Fahrenheit ) and withstand heavy neutron exposure.

UKAEA and Neurone consortium produced 5.5 tonnes ( 12,125 pounds ) of fused steel using a seven-tonne ( 15,432-pound ) electric arc furnace.
