Is your fusion reactor getting clogged with garbage? Try using some coconut. It's not the most obvious ingredient for such a high-tech device, but it will play a vital part In the ITER reactor in France.rnThe coconuts will be used to generate 10,000 cubic metres of nothing - the vacuum essential to ITER's operation. Some of this vacuum, in the central chamber, separates the plasma from the surrounding solid walls and allows fusion to proceed unhindered by air molecules. A whole lot more nothing is needed to fill the vacuum jackets that insulate ITER's supercooled magnets.
