Europe breaks ranks over fusion project site
Article Abstract:
The European Union (EU) announced to abandon the multilateral site selection process if necessary and builds ITER in France. The ITER fusion reactor was billed as a model for 'big science' projects and aims to prove the principle of generating energy from fusion, by confining a ring of plasma with a magnetic field in a doughnut-shaped vessel and heating it to several million degrees Kelvin.
