- Monday | 15th April, 2019
While nuclear fusion could revolutionize energy production, with pilot projects targeting energy output at 10 times the input, no fusion project has up to now created a net energy increase. The country is a member of the 35-nation ITER project, a 10-billion euro ($11.29 billion) fusion project under construction in France. Despite the critics who say dependable fusion energy is unrealistic, Song said he was confident breakthroughs are being made. “Five years from now, we will start to build our fusion reactor, which will need another 10 years of construction. HEFEI, China (Reuters) – China aims to complete and start generating power from an experimental nuclear fusion reactor by around 2040, a senior scientist involved in the project said, as it works to develop and commercialise a game-changing source of clean energy.
