Ready to witness the future of energy? Join Fernanda Rimini as she guides us through the cutting edge of fusion research at the Tokamak Reactor.

About Ignited: How Close is Fusion Energy?
Lasers ignited a successful nuclear fusion reaction for the first time. But there are quite some obstacles to overcome to move nuclear fusion technology into something we can really use. What forecast is realistic?

The nuclear fusion breakthrough has raised high hopes for clean power. This documentary shows the context behind the breakthrough. It explains nuclear fusion, one of the most complicated things you can imagine, in a way that a broad audience will be able to understand what it really means for us. The audience will be impressed by the huge and complex international fusion experiments. Watching and maybe smiling about the artistic graphic animations, they will grasp what's going on in a nuclear fusion reaction, why it is so hard to create it on earth and how the different nuclear fusion approaches try to make it happen.

00:02Fernanda Rimini has played a key role in shaping the development of fusion research.
00:07Today, she leads the experiments at the Tokamak jet, the British-European test reactor.
00:14Each series of experiments brings her a step closer to the ultimate goal of making nuclear fusion work.
00:21Another milestone recently, their own world record from 1997 was beaten.
00:28On that day, everything worked, and when everything works, this machine is still amazing.
00:34This time, instead, we've been able to go for much higher power, which means that the plasma is hotter.
00:41Energy records that show the Tokamak approach is on the right track.
00:45And something else is crucial.
00:47One thing that is extremely important is that we are able to predict results.
00:52The successful experiment with laser fusion has shown us this again.
00:56We need this in order to build a reactor later on.
01:00It also proves that the level of knowledge has increased significantly.
01:05That gives us confidence that when we extrapolate the behavior of this machine to a larger machine,
01:13or other types of similar Tokamaks, we have confidence that we know what is going to happen.
01:20And the most powerful Tokamak, ITA, will be built here in the south of France, the largest construction site in
01:28the world to date.
01:28ITA is intended to prove on a large scale that nuclear fusion can supply mankind with energy in the future.
01:40ITVS EXECUTIONS
01:41It's just another purpose.
01:41Orthoged Now, the Sheriff's Office has a useful case for people who are scoring
