Scientists generate record-breaking amounts of energy from nuclear fusion
Scientists have made a major breakthrough towards practical nuclear fusion bringing us closer than ever to ultra-low carbon energy. The team, from the Joint European Torus (JET) in Oxford, managed to generate 59 megajoules of energy through nuclear fusion. This is more than double the previous record set in 1997, according to the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). The results are good news for advocates of nuclear energy as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. "As pressures mount to address the effects of climate change through decarbonising energy production, this success is a major step forward on fusion’s roadmap as a safe, efficient, low carbon means of tackling the global energy crisis," UKAEA said in a statement.
