World's largest nuclear reactor, capable of providing unlimited forever energy, in making

Scientists are attempting to harness fusion processes, the same energy source that powers the sun, at ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (which is also Latin for "the way," as per the agency) to provide the Earth with unlimited energy.

Though it might sound like a Mandalorian ideology, ITER researchers assert that "The Way" on Earth is moving towards an unthinkable objective: endless energy, according to TCD.

If successful, the scientists in southern France might offer "arguably the most complex machine ever designed," as ITER's communications lead Laban Coblentz told Euronews Next, as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear fission.

Although there have been well-publicised nuclear energy-related accidents, the technology is stable when properly supervised by workers and shielded from environmental hazards like earthquakes. Nuclear energy is by no means a novel scientific concept. 

The 436 nuclear reactors that are powered by fission require neutrons to be slammed into bigger atoms in order to break them into smaller particles and produce energy. Although radioactive waste is produced throughout the process, it does not release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the environment.

On the other hand, when two smaller particles collide, fusion creates a heavier atom. The US Department of Energy claims that the outcome is significantly more energy than fission and does not produce radioactive waste.

The goal of the ITER team is to demonstrate the process's industrialisation. The project has been theirs since at least 2005. The largest magnetic confinement chamber on Earth, referred to by the researchers as a tokamak, is one of the test subjects.
