Organisations like Greenpeace often like to present their position and views as progressive, sustainable, and long-term wise. Not so in the case of the ITER fusion project in France. On their webpage the following title can be found:

France gets nuclear fusion reactor, ITER

Lennart Kiil — Tue, 28 Jun 2005 14:29:03 +0200

Today it was confirmed that France is to host the worldâ€™s biggest nuclear fusion reactor, a $12 billion project designed to harness the power of the Sun.

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (Iter) is projected for 35 years and is to produce the first sustained fusion reactions.

Scientists know it could work because they know the hydrogen bomb works. Involved engineers face a huge challenge in trying to do it in a controlled manner so the heat can be used to generate electricity.

Fusion book

The fusion book is a dynamic and collaborative effort to create a collection of resources about fusion.

Fusion is one of the most beneficial potentialities of science for a very long time.

In time the book will contain chapters on different aspects of fusion, as well as a FAQ, and a knowledge base.

Since the the evolutions of both the area of fusion and the book are forthgoing and dynamic no more precise projections of content can yet be given.
