  2. Fusion power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power

    Consequently, during the operation of envisioned fusion reactors, known as breeder reactors, helium cooled pebble beds (HCPBs) are subjected to neutron fluxes to generate tritium to complete the fuel cycle. [6] As a source of power, nuclear fusion has a number of potential advantages compared to fission.

  3. ITER - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

    ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin [2] [3] [4]) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun.

  4. Nuclear fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

    Nuclear fusion–fission hybrid (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the ...
