Why isn’t nuclear fusion possible yet?
In: 0
Long story short, it is possible and has been done but it doesn’t return enough energy to break even; let alone produce energy. There’s a running joke that fusion will always be about 30 years away.
However there’s been recent developments (or a resurgence) in thorium salt reactors (fission) that have a SIGNIFICANTLY reduced risk of a melt down (no water cooling so no steam explosions)
