ITER

ITER, short for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, is a major international research project based in France aimed at demonstrating nuclear fusion as a viable energy source. Fusion is the process that powers the sun, where light atomic nuclei combine to release vast amounts of energy. ITER seeks to replicate this process on Earth to create clean, sustainable energy without the long-lived radioactive waste associated with traditional nuclear fission. Involving countries like the EU, the USA, China, and Russia, ITER represents a collaborative effort to advance fusion technology toward practical energy production for future generations.
