Doubts Rise Over the Great Nuclear Promise

The euphoria over a decision to base the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France seems to be evaporating. What remains is a growing doubt over the feasibility and cost of the project.

The project seeks to introduce new nuclear technology. It will seek a nuclear fusion of two hydrogen isotopes (deuterium which exists abundantly in nature, and tritium, a synthetic isotope) to produce helium with massive release of energy to produce electricity.
