...long-range answer to man's energy needs may lie in thermonuclear fusion. The process that fires the sun and all the other stars, fusion releases enormous amounts of energy-but only small amounts of dangerous radioactivity -through the combination of light atoms of hydrogen to form heavier atoms of helium. The earth's seas contain an almost unlimited store of an isotope of hydrogen especially suitable as fusion fuel: deuterium, or heavy hydrogen...
