Presentations: Two short presentations from fusion innovators, exploring the potential dual-use and defence applications of fusion-derived particle sources. 

Panel Discussion: the strategic applications of compact neutron and particle sources derived from fusion research, particularly in threat detection, and in hardening critical infrastructure against radiation and EMP effects. 

• Compact Neutron Source Technologies: an overview of emerging compact, high-flux neutron sources and their advantages over traditional reactor-based sources. 
• Materials Testing and Radiation Hardening: the critical role of neutron sources in qualifying materials and electronics for harsh radiation environments, ensuring the resilience of military assets in space and other contested domains. 
• Threat Detection and Non-Destructive Inspection: neutron and particle beams for detecting shielded special nuclear materials, identifying explosives, and structural defects in critical components. 

Moderated by Nicholas Davies, COO - FusionX
