France Achieves Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion, Paving Way for Clean Energy

Edited by: an_lymons vilart

June 17, 2025, France: Scientists at the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology have achieved a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion.

They have stabilized fusion reactions for minutes, a critical advancement in harnessing the energy of the sun.

This innovation utilizes a novel magnetic field system to prevent plasma instability.

The French government is investing an additional €500 million ($578.5 million) to accelerate commercialization.

The technology uses deuterium and tritium, found in seawater, offering a virtually unlimited fuel source. This could lead to near-zero energy bills and cleaner air.

Final testing is scheduled for late 2025, potentially ushering in a new era of clean energy.
