Australian experts provide star power to global fusion energy project

摘要

ANSTO's CEO has signed an agreement with the Director-General of the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation to join an international consortium of countries that will lend expertise on the groundbreaking ITER fusion project in southern France. Seven member entities, comprising 35 countries, are collaborating to build ITER - in the largest engineering project in the world. Scheduled to begin operations in 2025, ITER will be the first fusion device to produce more energy than it consumes. This is the first time a non-ITER member country has reached a technical cooperation agreement to work on the project, and connects the Australian community of fusion experts with those from the European Union, China, India, Japan, Russia, the US and South Korea.
