Nuclear fusion reactors

Nuclear fusion reactors are facilities designed to harness the energy produced when atomic nuclei combine, or "fuse," under extreme heat and pressure, similar to the processes occurring in the sun. This fusion releases a vast amount of energy, potentially providing a powerful and sustainable source of electricity with minimal radioactive waste compared to fission reactors. Researchers are exploring various methods to achieve and maintain the necessary conditions for fusion, aiming to create a viable energy solution that could help meet the world's growing energy demands while minimizing environmental impact.
