Iter & West: Nuclear Fusion Gaining Momentum at Cadarache
Nuclear fusion is advancing rapidly, including within France. On one hand, the CEA’s WEST reactor has completed its experimental campaign by setting a new record. On the other hand, the final poloidal field coil for ITER has been delivered.
I've only just read that the UK has pulled out of the massive #ITER#fusion reactor project. Instead, the UK is going to build its own. I guarantee it's going to be shit. Probably won't ever be finished & will end up costing billions. All because the UK government "doesn't want to play with those foreign European types". Also, the #JET lab in Oxfordshire is closing. Amazing, pioneering work was done there with our European partners. What an awful country this is. #science#NuclearFusion#brexit
#Kernfusion: #Iter könnte ein rekordverdächtiges Desaster werden
»die kumulierten Zeitplan- und Budgetüberschreitungen drohen es zum am meisten verzögerten – und kostspieligsten – Wissenschaftsprojekt der Geschichte zu machen«
