  • Fusion - a Clean Future Research at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy
    Fusion - A clean future Research at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy FUSION REACTION Increasing energy demands, concerns over climate change and limited supplies of fossil fuels mean that we need to find new, cleaner ways of powering the planet. Nuclear fusion – the process that drives the sun – could play a big part in our sustainable energy future. Around the globe, scientists and engineers are working to make fusion a real option for our electricity supply. At the forefront of this research is Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, home to the UK’s fusion programme and to the world’s largest fusion device, JET, which we operate for scientists from over 20 European countries. Why we need fusion energy Energy consumption is expected to grow dramatically over the next fifty years as the world’s population expands and developing countries become more industrialised. The population of the developing world is predicted to expand from seven billion to nearly ten billion by 2050. As a consequence, a large increase in energy demand can be expected, even if energy can be used more efficiently. At the same time, we need to find new ways of producing our energy. Fossil fuels bring atmospheric pollution and the prospect of climate change; Governments are divided over whether to include nuclear fission in their energy portfolios; and renewable sources will not be enough by themselves to meet the demand. Nuclear fusion can be an important long-term energy source, to complement other low-carbon options such as fission, wind, solar and hydro. Fusion power has the potential to provide more than one-third of the world’s electricity by the year 2100, and will have a range of advantages: • No atmospheric pollution.

  • Parish Magazine
    St Andrew’s Hagbourne PARISH MAGAZINE ALTERNATIVE ISSUE – OCTOBER 2020 Thank you very much to the Parish Councils for giving the Parish Magazine a temporary home on their websites until we are able to safely go back to producing and distributing a printed copy. www.easthagbourne.net www.westhagbourne.org ST ANDREW’S HAGBOURNE PARISH MAGAZINE page 1 OCTOBER 2020 ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, HAGBOURNE The United Benefice of Blewbury, East and West Hagbourne and Upton together with Aston Tirrold, Aston Upthorpe, North Moreton and South Moreton. __________________________________________________________________________ Rector’s Reflections The Doctor and the Artist On the 18th October, the Church traditionally celebrates the feast of St Luke, the author of one of the four gospels in the New Testament, and also the author of the Acts of the Apostles, a historical work telling the history of the early Church. Not much is known of Luke’s life, although in one of the other books of the New Testament he is described as Luke the Physician. Down the centuries, Luke has been regarded as the patron saint of doctors and others in the medical profession. By the early Middle Ages, Luke was also regarded as the patron saint of artists. It’s not clear why this came about. It might be a sign of respect for Luke’s skill as a writer. Luke’s gospel is full of passages of great artistic beauty, and these passages have inspired artists down the centuries to produce significant works of art. For example, it is in Luke’s gospel that we read of the visit of the Angel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as the Annunciation, and it is Luke’s gospel which includes the parable of the Prodigal Son.
