🌼 Dagnabbit, Pascaline! 🌼 on Nostr: World’s biggest experimental JT-60SA nuclear fusion reactor is operational in ...
World’s biggest experimental JT-60SA nuclear fusion reactor is operational in Japan.
Fusion technique fuses 2 atomic nuclei instead of splitting 1.
The goal: investigating feasibility of fusion as safe, large-scale, carbon-free net energy, generating more energy than than put into producing it.
The reactor comprises a vessel containing swirling 200mC (360mF) plasma.
The project of European Union & Japan is the forerunner for the French, under-construction reactor ITER.
