Nuclear Fusion

Fusion power is a potential method of electric power generation from heat released by nuclear fusion reactions. In fusion, two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus and release energy. Devices that use this process are known as fusion reactors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power

• The widespread adoption of non-nuclear renewable energy has transformed the energy landscape. Such renewables are projected to supply 74% of global energy by 2050.[182] The steady fall of renewable energy prices challenges the economic competitiveness of fusion power.[140] Some economists suggest fusion power is unlikely to match other renewable energy costs.[140] Fusion plants are expected to face large start up and capital costs. Moreover, operation and maintenance are likely to be costly.[140] While the costs of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor are not well known, an EU DEMO fusion concept was projected to feature a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $121/MWh.
• Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus. The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or the absorption of energy. This difference in mass arises as a result of the difference in nuclear binding energy between the atomic nuclei before and after the fusion reaction. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers all active stars, via many reaction pathways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion
