Model of the Harwell controlled Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA), scale 1:24, by Miniature Engineering (London) Ltd., London, SW1, 1958. With perspex shade made in Museum workshops. On 24 January 1958, UKAEA scientists claimed that thermonuclear fusion had been achieved in the ZETA experimental fusion reactor but these claims were later withdrawn. (Note: ZETA is sometimes incorrectly expanded as Zero Energy Thermal Apparatus). (Controlled fusion of atoms) Model of ZETA nuclear fusion device, 1954-1958. Nuclear Energy 1958
Model of Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA) made for the Atoms for Peace Exhibition in 1958. (Note: ZETA is sometimes incorrectly expanded as Zero Energy Thermal Apparatus). Model of Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA) Nuclear Energy c. 1958
