[ RadSafe ] Fusion research

[Harrison, Tony]

Funny you should ask, I saw this just the other day.  I'm no expert, but it seems like a fairly unbiased assessment of the state-of-the-art, despite the "green" nature of the website.

Dear Radsafe:
 
        From:   _jpreisig at aol.com_ (mailto:jpreisig at aol.com)       .
 
        Ahmad, Roy Herren, Group,
 
              Hope you all are well.  Global warming may be real.  Let's 
not ignore  it.  Let's go forward with
Fission and/or Fusion.  I don't hear much from ITER in France  (Fusion).  
Let's hope they are
chugging along with their research and getting fusion ready for commercial  
use.  How cool would that
be.  Yes, there are profileration concerns.  The US and other  countries 
nuclear industries continue
to produce energy with little fanfare.  Fukushima was an unfortunate  
occurance...
