Fusion power plants

Fusion power plants generate energy by mimicking the process that powers the sun. They fuse light atomic nuclei, like hydrogen isotopes, at extremely high temperatures to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This method offers the potential for abundant, low-carbon electricity with minimal radioactive waste. Fusion reactions require sophisticated technology to contain the super-hot plasma, typically using powerful magnetic fields. While still under development, fusion promises a safe, sustainable energy source—akin to unlocking the sun’s power on Earth.
