ESA's purpose is to provide for and promote, for peaceful purposes only, co-operation among European States in space research and technology. This includes their applications in space. Their laboratory facilities make it possible to support all kinds of technical activities as well as the testing of complete spacecrafts.
Many atomic plants are in use today.
The fragments have a lot of kinetic energy which will be transformed into heat. This heat is used to make steam and the steam moves a turbine. The temperature of a plasma is extremely high, like the centre of the sun, and we need a 'torus' for storage. JET is the major experiment in Europe's nuclear fusion research programme. The aim of this programme is to develop a fusion reactor to be used as an energy source with almost limitless fuel supplies that is safe and environmentally friendly.
