Decision on nuclear fusion reactor site put off again



<SNIP>



The ITER project is aimed at creating the world's first sustained 

nuclear fusion reaction, similar to the energy-producing process 

taking place constantly in the sun.

Comment :



Reactions in the sun depend on the weak nuclear force, whereas D-T fusion in

ITER-type reactors depends on the strong nuclear force : the two are not at

all "similar," except for promotional propaganda purposes.
