Abstract :
The development of fusion energy involves significant technical challenges and risks but the potential benefit is huge. International collaboration, which makes the best use of worldwide expertise and ideas while sharing the cost, is the best way to develop fusion energy. This paper describes how the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is showing how this can be done by developing the technical information as well as the learning experience of working together on a worldwide basis
