The goal of nuclear fusion research is to exploit the fusion of light atomic nuclei as a new and virtually inexhaustible source of primary energy. Using the raw materials deuterium and lithium, which can be extracted from water and rock almost anywhere, fusion will play a crucial role in replacing oil, gas, and coal in the second half of this century. Fusion power plants will not produce any greenhouse gases. Severe incidents affecting areas other than the immediate vicinity of the power plant cannot occur. Fusion is sustainable and safe – and will thus help to achieve an environmentally friendly energy supply.
