Spain Is Determinedly Committed to Clean and Inexhaustible 'Melting Energy'

Nuclear fusion, a process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing an extraordinary amount of energy, represents one of the most promising boundaries in the search for clean and sustainable energy sources. Unlike nuclear fission, which has been the basis of nuclear energy so far and carries significant risks of safety and radioactive waste, fusion offers a path towards virtually inexhaustible energy with minimal ra…

From 23 to 25 April, the Chanot Park hosted the ITER Business Forum, a key event to re-launch trade around the world's largest nuclear fusion project. After five years of interruption due to the pandemic, representatives of ITER's domestic agencies, coming from all over the world, gathered to do [...]

The Granada municipality of Alhama, with just 800 inhabitants, has been the scene of the launch of a historic project in Andalusia: the largest scientific investment that reaches 700 million euros and unites around the same challenge to the Government of Spain, the Junta de Andalucía and the States of Croatia, Italy and Japan (which will contribute 5%). All of them add their efforts, together with other institutions such as the University of Gra…

This Monday the ritual of placing the first stone of the particle accelerator IFIFF-DONES in Escuzar (Granada) began the physical development of facilities called to mark a before and after in the career of one of the technologies of the future: nuclear fusion. The event was attended by the first vice president and minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, along with the minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant, and the pre…

The aim is to explore the materials used for the generation of fusion, clean and inexhaustible energy. The first vice-president of the government of Spain and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, presided at the event, together with the President of the Board of Andaluzia, Juanma Moreno, who visited the buildings already built in the technological park of Escuzar, a town of only one thousand inhabitants, where the future particle accelerato…

Andalusia is moving towards leadership in science and innovation by placing the first stone of the Ifmif-Dones particle accelerator, a unique installation in the world that is built in the municipality of Escúzar in Granada. The event has been marked by the incorporation of Japan as a new partner of the project, which will study key materials for future nuclear fusion reactors, a clean and inexhaustible energy source.
