Laser Driven Fusion To Develop The Path To Carbon-free Energy On A Global Scale

摘要

The quest for abundant safe clean energy is one of the most important challenges facing mankind and HiPER (High Power laser for Energy Research) - a European research project led by the UK - will harness nature's prime energy source - Fusion - to demonstrate a credible path to laser driven fusion as a commercial energy production source and offer a broad-based science research facility.rnA European collaboration of leading physicists and government officials representing ten countries, and supported by science partners from fusion research establishments worldwide, formally signed an agreement in October to coordinate a three-year preparatory phase to establish the planning and design for the full HiPER facility.
