This is the first post of hopefully many in a series called “… in 5 links”.
Martin: Today I am talking about Nuclear Fusion. This is the process of joining two atoms and releasing energy rather than splitting them as a Fission reactor does. It has a lot of potential to produce clean electricity but it is very difficult to perfect.
Howstuffworks – Gives a simple easy to read overview of a fusion reactor.
Wikipedia – Goes a bit more in depth, not for those scared of equations!
Youtube – A video of a fusion reaction at JET. It looks incredible.
France – An experimental reactor is being built in France, perhaps this will make the big break through.
