Return to the ITER Experimental Nuclear Fusion Reactor, France

Inside the Tokamak pit at ITER, where the reactions will take place

I recently revisited ITER, an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject that will be the world’s largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment - in short, the future of energy, when it works - which it may do within the next 50 years. Read all about how completely wonderful and bonkers the project is by looking at my previous post here. This is shot as part of an ongoing series …
