What makes fusion energy so challenging, and why is there so much hype around it? Euronews Tech Talks explored these questions through the JET project. View on euronews

The article from MSN discusses the Joint European Torus (JET) project, which has made significant strides in nuclear fusion research. JET, located in Oxfordshire, England, has achieved a world record by producing 69 megajoules of fusion energy for five seconds, showcasing the potential of fusion as a clean, virtually limitless energy source. The project, which began operations in 1983, has been pivotal in demonstrating that fusion energy can be generated in a controlled manner, similar to the processes that power the sun. The article highlights the importance of these experiments in paving the way for future fusion power plants, like the upcoming ITER project in France. It also touches on the challenges, such as managing the extreme conditions inside the reactor, and the optimism surrounding fusion's role in combating climate change by providing a sustainable energy solution. The podcast episode linked in the article features discussions with experts from the JET project, offering insights into the technical achievements and the future prospects of fusion energy.
