Fusion technology as a clean and sustainable power generation method
During the fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus, where the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy that can be used to run a turbine-electrical power generator. As nuclear fusion does not generate CO2 emissions from this process, fusion does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or global warming. No long-life radioactive waste is generated, and fusion reactor materials can be recycled or re-used within 100 years.
