介绍:
ITER – the world's largest nuclear fusion project – reached a construction milestone last week as the final components of the reactor arrived on the build site in southeastern France.
The $25 billion endeavor, which aims to produce sustainable fusion energy on a commercial scale, is financed by seven of the world's largest energy powerhouses: the European Union, United Kingdom, China, India, Russia, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
