- Title
Physicists plead to make final tweak to fusion experiment.
- Authors
Brumfiel, Geoff
- Abstract
The article focuses on the dilemma facing those working on the international fusion reactor known as ITER. ITER will cost roughly $6 billion to become the first fusion reactor to produce more power than it consumes. It will work by using a web of carefully constructed magnetic fields to suspend a plasma gas, which is heated to hundreds of millions of degrees.
