DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant)

A Demonstration Power Plant (DEMO) is a prototype nuclear fusion reactor designed to showcase how fusion energy can be produced on a commercial scale. Unlike experimental reactors, DEMO aims to prove that fusion can generate electricity reliably, efficiently, and safely for widespread use. It serves as a bridge between research projects and full-scale power plants, demonstrating key technologies, engineering solutions, and economic viability necessary for future fusion power plants to become a practical energy source. In essence, DEMO is a critical step toward making fusion energy a reality for everyday electricity needs.
