 FUSION 



Energy for the 

 21st Century 



The successful development of 

 nuclear fusion for generating 

 power ehould provide an almost 

 limitless source of energy for future 

 generations 



At present, researcfi programmes 

 world-wide are aimed at providing 

 tfie scientific feasibility of using 

 nuclear fusion for generating 

 electricity Wittiin tfie next few 

 years it is expected that 

 experiments on the world's largest 



European Torus), will routinely 

 produce fusion reactions. 

 However, before fusion can be 

 harnessed for generating power, it 

 will be necessary to develop 

 suitable technology and to prove 

 economic viability 

 JET represents the culmination of 

 many years research and is a 

 mapr step towards the exploitation 

 of nuclear fusion as a new source 

 of energy
