European passions cool as bill increases
Article Abstract:
European scientists have become less excited about energy research projects using nuclear fusion since they became unfashionable and costly. Magnetic-fusion research work on projects such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor have cost Europe nine billion US dollars since the concept was born in 1967. Politicians are doubtful that the scientific community can come up with a working prototype within the foreseeable future, despite scientists' claims to the contrary.
