这个新的融合电站将模仿太阳 - 并提供无限的能量

一份新闻声明显示，欧洲联盟的一个欧洲联盟刚刚宣布了其示范发电厂（演示）的五年“概念设计”阶段的开始。

这意味着核融合科学家正在欧洲示范电站开始设计工作，他们希望最终能够启用净核融合能。

直到今天，科学家在很大程度上已经尝试了称为Tokamaks的圆形核融合反应器，这些反应器使用强大的磁铁来包含发生反应所需的燃烧血浆。

Eurofusion的演示发电厂计划是300至500兆瓦的Tokamak，该财团在其声明中将其描述为“这是“首个算法”，代表了全球迭代融合实验后的下一个技术步骤。”

The consortium explained in its statement that DEMO’s conceptual design phase “charts a route of scientific and engineering research from the basic science at current devices, all the way to designing the demonstration fusion power plant DEMO, capable of net electricity production shortly after the middle of the century.” The organization has set 2054 as its goal for delivering commercial fusion energy.

演示还将显示远程维护和triu育。Tritium育种将使操作员能够在现场生产Tritium Fusion燃料，并将成为未来商业融合操作的有头号组件。

In EuroFusion’s statement, Gianfranco Federici, Head of the Fusion Technology Department at EUROfusion, and Tony Donné, EUROfusion Programme Manager, wrote “the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe are benefitting largely from the experience gained from the design, licensing, and construction of ITER.” However, they warn that work on facilities such as DEMO must start soon after ITER reveals its key findings so as to avoid a “brain drain” away from nuclear fusion to other industries.

ITER是世界上最大的核融合实验。它在法国南部正在建设中，是35个合作伙伴国家之间合作的一部分，包括欧盟，中国，印度，日本，俄罗斯和美国，其主要目的是表明核融合是安全且商业上可行的。
