This process releases a tremendous amount of energy, which makes it an attractive form of energy production. It is the same process that powers stars like our sun. While it has been studied since the 1950s, scientists are still working to develop a practical way to control and use nuclear fusion for power generation. Nuclear fusion has the potential to provide an inexhaustible and clean energy source, which could replace fossil fuels as the primary source of energy for power generation. # External links https://deepmind.com/blog/article/Accelerating-fusion-science-through-learned-plasma-control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzK0ydOF0oU&list=PPSV
