A Giant Step Forward in Nuclear Fusion
Fusion
reactors heat a plasma of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium
under immense pressure until their nuclei overcome the natural force of
repulsion and fuse together. Upon fusing they form helium nuclei,
releasing excess neutrons and huge amounts of energy.Fusion reactions
are the power source of the stars, and would be the most powerful source
of clean energy on the planet. Currently there are two multibillion
dollar facilities attempting to achieve stable fusion reactions; the
ITER fusion reactor in France, and the National Ignition…Read more...http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Nuclear-Power/A-Giant-Step-Forward-in-Nuclear-Fusion.html
