Nuclear fusion

Went on a guided tour of Culham fusion research centre last night. Really interesting stuff and good explanations from the scientists involved. It is certainly a potentially exciting technology, very safe and with effectively inexhaustible fuel supplies. But the engineering is somewhat tricky.

Recommended.

I was so excited about the prospects of fusion power in 1965 that I started my degree in Physics. I've been retired several years and we really don't seem to be much closer.

Would have been annoying if you'd got it all sussed by 1971 and had to look for a new job.

Unless of course you did figure it all out but didn't mention it to anyone
