"Japan Unveils World's Largest Experimental Fusion Reactor, Marking a Milestone in Nuclear Energy"
The world's largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor, the JT-60SA, has been inaugurated in Japan. Fusion, which involves fusing atomic nuclei instead of splitting them, is seen as a potential solution to humanity's future energy needs. The goal of the reactor is to investigate the feasibility of fusion as a safe, large-scale, and carbon-free source of net energy. The JT-60SA is a joint project between the European Union and Japan and is a precursor to the under-construction International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France. Fusion carries no risk of catastrophic nuclear accidents and produces less radioactive waste than current power plants.
