Cadarache (site of ITER)

Cadarache, located in southern France, is a major research facility focused on developing nuclear fusion energy. It hosts ITER, an international project aiming to create a clean, virtually limitless power source by replicating the sun's fusion process on Earth. Fusion involves merging light atomic nuclei to release energy, offering a safe and sustainable alternative to current nuclear power. Cadarache's work includes designing and testing advanced reactors, contributing to the goal of achieving practical fusion energy that could provide large amounts of low-carbon electricity in the future.
