Nuclear Fusion Are We Finally Close

Nuclear Fusion: Are We Finally Close?

UNLIMITED ENERGY?

Fusion has crossed milestones that once sounded impossible. But a laboratory ignition is not yet a power station. This documentary follows the physics, machines and engineering between a burning plasma and useful electricity: magnetic confinement, laser fusion, tritium breeding, neutron damage, heat exhaust, ITER, STEP, private fusion companies and the race toward the 2040s.

It separates target gain, plasma gain, engineering gain and economic gain, and asks the question behind every fusion headline: close to what?
