The world's largest nuclear fusion project - The joint initiative of 30 countries aims to produce clean energy
Scientists working on the world's largest nuclear fusion project have completed the main magnet system. This system will power the core of the ITER Tokamak reactor, which aims to demonstrate that nuclear fusion, the energy source of the sun and stars, can be used as a safe, carbon-free energy source on Earth.
Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms and produces radioactive waste, fusion involves heating hydrogen gas to extremely high temperatures until the atoms fuse, releasing large amounts of energy without nuclear waste.
India is among the seven core members of the project and has played a key role in building the most critical infrastructure, including massive cryostat cooling systems and heating technologies.
The final part of the magnet system was the sixth Central Solenoid module, the main magnet that will drive the plasma, the super-hot gas in which fusion reactions take place.
Built and tested in the United States, this powerful magnet will soon be assembled in southern France. When completed, it will be strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier and form the electromagnetic heart of a fusion machine.
ITER, which stands for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, is a joint scientific effort by more than 30 countries, including India, China, the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea and members of the European Union. The goal is to prove that fusion energy can be produced on an industrial scale.
The newly completed magnetic system is critical for creating and controlling the ultra-hot plasma inside the reactor. At full power, ITER is expected to produce 500 megawatts of energy from just 50 megawatts of input.
Scientists say that if successful, fusion could offer the world a nearly unlimited, clean energy source without the long-lived radioactive waste or carbon emissions of current technologies.
