Now in its second edition, it updates readers on all developments at ITER and those at competing fusion initiatives worldwide, at the National Ignition Facility (US), the Joint European Torus (EU) and the tens of start-ups funded by private ventures. The author also shares his personal experience with this unique big science project..Aimed at bringing the “energy of the stars” to earth, ITER is funded by the major economic powers (China, the EU, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the USA). Often presented as a “nuclear but green” energy source, fusion could play an important role in the future electricity supply. But as delays accumulate and budgets continue to grow, ITER is currently a star partially obscured by clouds. .Will ITER save humanity by providing a clean,safe and limitless source of energy, or is it merely a political showcase of cutting-edge technology? Is ITER merely an ambitious research project and partly a PR initiative driven by some politically connected scientists? In any case, ITER has already helped s | 出版日期 | Book 2023Latest edition | 关键词 | Nuclear Fusion; Sustainable Nuclear Energy; ITER Tokamak; ITER Energy; Magnetic Confinement; Future Elect | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-37762-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-37761-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-37762-4Series ISSN 2731-8982 Series E-ISSN 2731-8990 | issn_series | 2731-8982 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
