In the frame of a continually increasing energy demand, nuclear energy has the potential to play a major role in creating a sustainable, reliable, safe and carbon-free energy mix, capable of satisfying the energy demand while limiting the CO2 production, thus contributing to containing the temperature raising. While many fission power plants are currently operating around the world, the energy production at industrial level from fusion is still missing and a big part of nuclear research investigates this topic. The difficulty in reproducing the fusion process on earth in a controlled way lays in the high densities and temperatures needed in order to activate the process.
