Clean energy could be 'closer than ever' after a nuclear fusion machine smashed a record
JET's final nuclear fusion experiment produced a record-breaking 69 megajoules of heat. Nice.
A brief distillation of nuclear fusion: It is a reaction by which atomic nuclei fuse, turning into a new element while at the same time producing a huge amount of energy. It is a cleaner process than nuclear fission, its evil twin, which generates energy (and a sizable amount of waste) by splitting atoms. “JET’s final fusion experiment is a fitting swansong after all the ground-breaking work that has gone into the project,” Andrew Bowie, the UK Minister for Nuclear and Networks, told the BBC.
