The world's largest nuclear fusion project is being assembled in France
Thirty-five nations are collaborating in the ITER energy project aimed at mastering energy production from hydrogen fusion, as in the heart of the sun, a potential new source of carbon-free and non-polluting energy.
The components must now be painstakingly put together to finish what is dubbed by ITER in promotional material as the "world's largest puzzle". "Fusion provides clean, reliable energy without carbon emissions," said a statement from the 35 ITER partners: China, the 27 members of the European Union, Britain, Switzerland, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States.
Furthermore, the fuel for fusion is found in seawater and lithium, abundant enough to supply humanity for millions of years.
