All the information about fusion energy in a publication
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has presented World Fusion Outlook (WFO), a new regular publication that will serve as an authoritative source of information and updates on fusion energy.
World Fusion Outlook 2023 (WFO), launched by IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi during the 29th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference aims to become a global reference for research and development in the field of fusion energy.
The report highlights the potential of fusion energy in long-term global plans for achieving net-zero emissions and addressing climate change while meeting rising electricity demands. It also emphasizes the challenges and steps required to make fusion technology a reality.
