Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
So heres a question: if ITER works as intended, why, after spending billions of world units of currency to build a massive heat exchanger to diffuse the heat that this machine is expected to produce, do they not spend a few more million hooking this thing up to France’s power grid? I recognize that ITER is a test body, an experiment, BUT if it works the way it is intended to, why not use it to actually supply power to the energy grid? If successful it could become the first fusion power plant; if it is a total failure then only a small portion of the trillions spent would have gone into grid connection…so why not do it?
Sorry, didn't get past "it's"
