What is ITER?

As we recently saw what have happened in Japan it make us rethink about nuclear energy, and the consequences to produce energy from Fision reactors. could you be asking, there are no other way? the answer is yes there are, but it is still so far to become true.
There are an international agreement to build a large, $4 Billion, reactor-scale device known as the ¨International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor¨ ITER, based on nuclear fusion, and it is environmentally attractive, also sustainable energy source which is based on the same reaction that occur in our sun at very high temperatures.


The project ITER is in progress and there are other facilities such as JET(uk) or TFTR(us) where scientist are developing  the necessary techniques to work in appropriate safely environment, and testing materials adequate to support  high temperatures.
