Fusion Energy and Its Future

What is the primary challenge in replicating nuclear fusion on Earth?

• Managing the waste products

• Building large enough reactors

• Creating the extreme conditions found in stars

• Finding enough hydrogen isotopes

Which international project is focused on developing fusion energy?

• ITER

• CERN

• ESA

• NASA

What is the main goal of the UK's STEP project?

• To create a new type of nuclear fission reactor

• To produce energy using solar panels

• To develop a smaller, more cost-effective tokamak

• To replace ITER as the leading fusion project

How does the design of the UK's STEP tokamak differ from ITER's?

• STEP uses a smaller, spherical tokamak

• STEP uses a rectangular tokamak

• STEP does not use a tokamak at all

• STEP uses a larger, donut-shaped tokamak

What potential impact could Brexit have on the UK's fusion energy efforts?

• It could result in the UK abandoning fusion research

• It could lead to a merger with ITER

• It could isolate the UK from ITER collaboration

• It could increase funding from the EU
