A breakthrough in producing power by fusion reactions is expected in 2024, according to S&P Global. The ground-breaking technology produces nuclear power without the disadvantages of producing large amounts of radioactive waste as a by-product and can potentially generate far more energy than conventional fission reactions, by using the same nuclear process that drives the sun. Currently Russia’s VVER nuclear power technology is the world leader and Russia’s nuclear exports are booming, but this is traditional fission reactor technology. The technical challenge has been to recreate those condi…
