‘Fusjonsenergi – status og utsikter’

Sola vår og alle andre stjerner i universet får sin energi ved fusjon av hydrogen. Det foregår et storstilt forskningsprosjekt for å utnytte slike kjernereaksjoner til bærekraftig produksjon av elektrisk energi i så store mengder at den vil komme menneskeheten til gode i flere årtusen fremover. Dette foredraget gir en presentasjon av den internasjonale forskningen på fusjonsenergi med utsikter for nye testreaktorer under konstruksjon.

Spørsmål og debatt. Møtet er åpent for alle interesserte
