After 30 Years of Construction, Fusion Reactor Ready to Be Tested
19th December 2016
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor’s (ITER) Tore Supra tokamak in France will start its first set of experiments this coming spring. It will heat gas to several million degrees Celsius and contain the plasma from the resulting reaction. Construction of the tokamak began in the 1980s.
Let’s hope it works.
