Fusion has the potential to be a sustainable energy source that avoids the issues of fossil fuels and current nuclear power. It involves fusing two light atomic nuclei to produce energy. The fuel for fusion, mainly deuterium, is widely available. Fusion also avoids producing long-term radioactive waste or carbon emissions. Significant challenges remain, such as achieving the extremely high temperatures required for fusion. International experiments like ITER in France aim to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power.

Fusion as an Energy Source: Challenges and Opportunities By:- Ank Khandelwal and Nagaraj Joshi
Currently the world is facing many problems like global warming , pollution , electricity shortage. Population is increasing at a very high rate , so the demands for power is increasing day by day. Presently generation of energy depends upon coal and oil sources, but these will not last for long. These fossil fuels also emit a lot of CO 2 which is the main cause for global warming.

Fusion is the release of energy by combining 2 light nuclei such as deuterium and tritium. The energy produced during fusion reaction is much more than the fission reaction.

The fuel for fusion is abundantly available. Fusion like fission does not produce radioactive waste. It doesnt produce CO 2 . Fusion power stations would not produce fissile materials and make no use of Uranium and Plutonium, the elements associated with nuclear weapons. As with fission, fusion power stations would provide energy at a constant rate, making them suitable for base-load electricity supply.
Interesting Fact : 1 Kg of fusion fuel would produce the same amount of energy as 10,000,000 kg of fossil fuel.
Let us check out the Answer.
ITER Research International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Cadarache, France It is a Multi-Nation Venture Cost $13.8 billion 500 Megawatt Power
Working
Expected to start work in 2018. Anticipated output in 2026. Requires very high temperature. Requires huge finance budget. Maintenance
Nuclear fusion is one of the promising source of energy and has the potential to meet our energy needs and hope that the ITER is successful so that we wont have to see a day like this
