That's some lazy journalism; they've omitted the name of the object they're writing about. So people could search for that name, you know?
The name of this fusion project is "H3AT",

Here's slightly more information about it (maybe there's a better source)?

- teddyh 2y ago> That's some lazy journalism I’ve come to believe that it’s actually also quite cunning. If they omit the name in a way that nobody notices, reader will be unable to find out any information for themselves, and will therefore not expose any factual errors in the article.
- jl6 2y agoNot sure if this is conscious cunning by the BBC, but they probably employ people whose skillset and style is shaped by the “writing for the web” industry - and we know that the modern web is a cattle ranch. Got to keep the animals inside the funnel, pointing in the right direction.
