scientists made a major breakthrough in
the field of nuclear fusion one that
could help pave the way to a nearly
Limitless source of clean energy the
announcement excited officials
simply put this is one of the most
impressive scientific Feats of the 21st
century this is a BFD Fusion is the
nuclear process that powers the Sun and
occurs when the nuclei of two atoms
combine releasing energy and for the
first time lab made Fusion released more
energy than it took to start the
reaction a feat that has eluded
researchers for decades that's never
been done before in any Fusion
laboratory anywhere in the world so it's
super exciting to do it scientists
blasted 192 lasers at a pellet of fuel
to fuse hydrogen atoms Fusion could one
day produce a massive amount of
emissions-free energy without the long
lasting nuclear waste that fission in
nuclear power plants produce and without
the risk of nuclear meltdown but there's
still a ways off from getting energy on
the grid this is one igniting capsule
one time and to realize commercial
Fusion Energy you have to do many things
you have to be able to produce many many
a fusion ignition events per minute and
you have to have a robust system of
drivers to enable that so you know
probably decades still recent advances
in the field using a variety of fusion
techniques are bringing the possibility
of Fusion Energy closer to becoming a
reality
not six decades I don't think I think
five decades which is what we used to
say I think it's moving into the
foreground and probably you know with
concerted effort and investment a few
Decades of research on the underlying
Technologies could put us in a position
to build a power plant
