WEST restarts to test physics of ITER divertor
An hour north of Aix-en-Provence, the French fusion experts at CEA are bringing their fusion device WEST back into operation. An eighteen-month shutdown saw the device outfitted with the same exhaust system as in its big next-door neighbour ITER, the international fusion project aiming to show that fusion can be a clean and abundant source […]
