When people talk about nuclear energy, they are, by ignorance, lumping all nuclear energy into Fission Nuclear energy. There is another, Fusion, and unlike Fission, it has more potential, and far fewer risks. <\/p>\n
Years ago in a Technology Forecasting class, I made a bold prediction that; <\/p>\n
\nthere will be commercial fusion power by the year 2000.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I was wrong, to the disappointment of the world. But I did qualify my prediction with the speculation that that first fusion plant would be a converted experimental reactor. And now my prediction may be forming, a bit latter than predicted. But when the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)<\/a> does manage to get constructed it is expected to become commercially viable. Hence the Moment of truth for nuclear fusion scheme<\/a> now that the Experts ‘cleared hurdle in fusion research’<\/a><\/p>\n
Here’s hoping for a Nuclear Fission free past, and a new clean nuclear Fusion future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
