ITER Fusion Research Reactor C016 / 9201
Artists concept view of the interior of the ITER reaction vessel. Nuclear fusion involves creating a plasma of superheated gas to temperatures of more than 200 million degrees C, conditions hot enough to force deuterium and tritium atoms to fuse together and release energy. Fusion takes place inside a Tokamak torus within a giant magnetic field, the only way to contain the heat generated. The ITER reactor is designed to produce 500 MW, 10 times more energy than it consumes. Nuclear fusion is the joining (fusing) of light elements to form heavier elements, which releases large amounts of energy. It is hoped that fusion will be a clean, renewable energy source for the future.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept view of the interior of the ITER Fusion Research Reactor C016/9201. The image depicts the remarkable process of nuclear fusion, where a plasma of superheated gas reaches mind-boggling temperatures exceeding 200 million degrees Celsius. Within this scorching environment, deuterium and tritium atoms are forced to fuse together, unleashing an abundance of energy. The fusion reaction occurs within a Tokamak torus enveloped by a colossal magnetic field, which is essential for containing the intense heat generated during the process. Designed with groundbreaking innovation, the ITER reactor aims to produce an astonishing 500 MW of power while consuming only one-tenth of that amount. Nuclear fusion represents a promising avenue towards achieving clean and renewable energy sources for our future. By fusing light elements into heavier ones, copious amounts of energy are released without harmful emissions or waste products associated with traditional forms of power generation. This computer artwork serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit in harnessing the potential offered by nuclear fusion. As we strive towards unlocking its full potential, scientists envision a world where fusion becomes our primary source for sustainable energy production. With each step forward in research and development at facilities like ITER Fusion Research Reactor C016/9201, we inch closer to realizing this extraordinary vision for our planet's future.
