U.S. – ITER
An unprecedented international collaboration of scientists and engineers has performed needed research and development and designed a burning plasma experiment called ITER. The fusion power produced by ITER will be 10 times greater than the external power delivered to heat the plasma. The United States has joined the other ITER partners in negotiations for construction of this project, whose mission is to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power.

New 'HYPERION' MINI NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS-POWERS 20,000 HOMES
Invented at the famed Los Alamos National Laboratory, Hyperion small modular power reactors make all the benefits of safe, clean nuclear power available for remote locations. For industrial and community applications, Hyperion offers reliable energy with no greenhouse gas emissions. Hyperion power is also cheaper than fossil fuels and, when you consider the cost of land and materials, watt to watt, Hyperion’s innovative energy technology is even more affordable than many developing “alternative” energy technologies.
