ITER project: Australian physicists enlisted for fusion experiment to help clean energy research
A multi-million-dollar fusion energy experiment in France has brought Australian experts onboard as part of research that could one day help supply the world with clean, carbon-free energy. Asked to explain how the ITER works, ANU Professor John Howard told 666 ABC Canberra's Genevieve Jacobs the simplest example of a nuclear fusion reactor was the sun. "At the ANU we've developed some interesting imaging technologies that are now being used on other fusion reactors around the world, for looking at the flows and the temperature of the exhaust plasma," Professor Howard said. Professor Howard said the ANU Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility's systems enabled them to use advanced camera technology to do two-dimensional imaging.
