Grand Challenges of Engineering

The World needs a clean, cheap and accessible form of generating electrical energy. One of the potential grand challenges of Engineering is to provide energy from fusion.

Why using Nuclear Fusion?

  1. Abundant fuel
  2. No Greenhouse gases directly emitted
  3. Safety
  4. No long-lasting radioactive waste
