Kurchatov researchers are using powerful doughnut-shaped machines, acronymically named Tokamaks, to obtain the same results with intense magnetic fields. Academician Lev Artsimovich, head of the Kurchatov work, doubts that anyone will be able to produce power from fusion in less than 20 or 30 years. "When you hear scientists boasting that they will achieve it in two or three years," he says...
