WORLD'S LARGEST FUSION PROJECT REACHES MAJOR MILESTONE WITH INDIA'S HELP

In a major milestone, scientists working on the world's largest nuclear fusion project have completed its main magnet system with India playing a key role in building critical infrastructure. This system will power the core of ITER's Tokamak reactor, which aims to demonstrate that fusion, the energy source of the sun and stars, can be used as a safe and carbon-free power source on Earth.

Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms and produces radioactive waste, fusion involves heating hydrogen gas to extremely high temperatures until the atoms fuse, releasing large amounts of energy sans nuclear waste.
