Researchers from the Center for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT) have participated in a decisive European experiment where the mixture of deuterium and tritium (DT) fusion fuel, the one planned for ITER, has been used, reaching the fusion energy record of 59 megajoules, held for 5 seconds. The results of the experiment, announced today, are the clearest demonstration in 25 years of the potential of fusion power to provide safe and sustainable energy with low carbon dioxide emissions.
