The promise of fusion, if scientists can get it to work, is huge. Unlimited power without any carbon emissions and very little radioactive waste. Iter’s job is to show that fusion can be achieved and controlled for sustained periods in the tokamak design. It will not be a power station itself. That is the job of the next generation of fusion reactors, which will be built by countries individually with knowledge gained from the Iter experiments. It's just a demo project. There is a virtually limitless source of fuel in the world’s oceans to feed future nuclear fusion reactors. And though there are some radioactive waste products that come from the process, they all have short half-lives and will become inert within a few hundred years, as opposed to the thousands of years for which waste from fission reactors stays dangerous.
