...time when science is more than ever a truly global enterprise, especially for solving challenges such as energy and climate change. The latest example of this, they claim, is Congress' recent failure to appropriate any funds this year to the $20 billion multi-national fusion power project (ITER) being constructed in southern France. The landmark R&D project is aimed at demonstrating the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power, and the U.S. has pledged to cover 10% of the cost over 10 years...
...CHOSEN. FRANCE, as the site for the world's first nuclear fusion reactor; by the six members of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) consortium; in Moscow. After 17 years of talks and delays, ITER chose France's proposal to build the reactor in Cadarache, near Marseilles, over Japan's bid for the $12.18 billion deal. Expected to be completed in 10 years, the experimental facility is an attempt to produce inexpensive, inexhaustible energy by harnessing the same nuclear reactions that power...
...include IBM - have captured only about €1.2 billion, half last year's market share, according to sourcing advisors TPI. If that number keeps shrinking, there might be a few more IBM employees feeling the Big Blues. - By Michael Brunton Waiting For A Reaction The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) won't begin producing energy before 2050, but it's already generating hot air. Last week, Japan considered filing a formal protest after French officials - including President Jacques Chirac - indicated that the French site at Cadarache, 65 km north of Marseilles, had all but bagged the €10 billion deal...
...foreign countries. For consumers, that's worth phoning home about. - By Mark Halper Southern France's Ray Of Hope Citizens in the southern French town of Cadarache will be paying close attention to talks in Washington this week aimed at choosing the site for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world's biggest and most ambitious fusion-energy project. Wearing the E.U.'s colors, Cadarache is competing against a Japanese team to host a plant that will attempt to replicate the sun's own energy, fusing hydrogen into helium to exploit a limitless and clean source of power...
...White House announced last January that the U.S. "will join ... an ambitious international research project to harness the promise of fusion energy, the same form of energy that powers the sun. America will join negotiations with Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and China to create the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). This will be the largest and most technologically sophisticated fusion experiment in the world." Actually, it's the same consortium to which the U.S. had been party in the 1990s and from which it then bailed...
