Need for new
energy source ?
Depleting Fuel reserves
Greenhouse emissions
Promising resource
EnergyRequirement
Nuclear Fusion
The most basic form of energy in the universe is by thermonuclear fusion reactions
The call was answered by a new radix
Advantages of FusionLimitless clean energy source
No chain reactionAnd nuclear waste
Only Core remains radioactive for 100
years
Deuterium is abundant
in sea waterTritium can be extracted
from lithium and reusable
50 t/a of Deuterium can power 500 reactors of
1Gwe Each
500 times more powerful than fission techniques

Operational IssuesEasy to handle Materials used are less
constrained
reducing risk of uncontrollability The reaction stops within seconds
Helium generated is completely harmless to life
If reactor is damaged heat generation would immediately cease
Radioactive material released into the environment would be less than
1/1000 of the natural background radiation
Longer operational life and compact
ConclusionDevelopment of technology is Required
Fusion, if fully developed by 2050 Will become a widely used futureenergy source
Considerable progress in the last three decades
