We are looking forward to joining the International Thermonuclear Energy Reactor project involving nuclear fusion, as a full partner.

In spite of large international research programmes such as Joint European Torus (JET) and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the future practical utilization of fusion energy remains uncertain.

STOP THERMONUCLEAR TESTING!

France is now rushing to construct the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, (ITER), which is supposed to show that nuclear fusion can be used to power nuclear power stations. ITER is often presented as the long term solution to the problem of global warming, because nuclear fusion can provide an infinite and clean source of energy.

Fast Fusion

I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

But that's not really fusion power. That's just making some fusion happen.

The Fusion Myth

It's a heavy element produced in thermonuclear explosions of supernovae.

It turns out you can't do fusion on a table top despite all that cold fusion nonsense. Right?

In the core, we have thermonuclear reactions going on, creating chemical elements.

Steven Cowley Fusion is energy's future

Fusion is very hard to do.

Nuclear fusion faces massive technical obstacles.

We can do fusion. In the center of this device we made 16 megawatts of fusion power in 1997.

And that energy is what powers fusion.

So, that was the result. It was Mike, the first thermonuclear bomb, in 1952.

And in fact we can make fusion happen.

Cities were also the crucible for cultural fusion.

It's an interesting fusion of traditional and progressive.

Okay. What is fusion? Here comes the nuclear physics.

Nuclear fusion, I had about 10 minutes on that.

Jazz fusion is a combination of rock and jazz.

And created the jinn from a fusion of fire.

And created the jinn from a fusion of fire.

So we're going to have to go all out thermonuclear response, stimulate the total cytokine cascade.

The sequence starts with an image of planet Earth completely wiped out by a thermonuclear war...

The first EU Galileo satellite intended as an alternative to America s GPS system was launched in late December with India as a full partner. Also in December, India became the latest nation to join the EU in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) team, which aims to produce electricity using nuclear fusion, as happens in the sun.

The key question is, When are we going to get fusion?

It's really been a long time since we've known about fusion.

Everybody can get it. That's why we want to do fusion.

It's the only machine in the world that's actually done fusion.

Over the half century of the existence of the testing site, over 450 atomic and thermonuclear explosions were conducted.

Saudi Arabia is very active in the Fusion Task Force as well.

But, while the fusion process has produced some power (16 million watts of it, to be specific), scientists have yet to create a self sustaining fusion burn. Indeed, unlike nuclear fission, which went from the laboratory to the power grid within two decades, fusion has proved a tough nut to crack.

And there is one reaction that's probably the easiest fusion reaction to do.

And we have 30 million years worth of fusion fuel in sea water.

Because we want 30 million years worth of fusion power for the Earth.

Operational police support is another key tool, as is Interpol's Fusion Task Force.

We've got to take that, we've got to make that into a fusion reactor.

Machines all over the world are reaching fusion temperatures and extending our technological capabilities. The ITER experiment, when it starts up in the early 2020s, will embody those advances, achieving the long awaited fusion burn and place us just one step away from the ultimate goal of getting fusion power on the grid in an affordable manner.

Without nuclear fusion, future generations energy options will be severely limited creating a serious problem for developed and developing countries alike. Lev Artsimovich, the tokamak s inventor, said that fusion will be ready when society needs it.
