international thermonuclear experimental reactor (iter)
The international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is a large-scale scientific project aimed at creating a functional nuclear fusion power plant. ITER's primary objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion as a future energy source by confining and controlling a superheated plasma of hydrogen isotopes within a magnetic field. This experimental reactor brings together the efforts of several countries to advance scientific knowledge and potentially provide a sustainable and abundant source of clean energy.
