That phrase has been accurate for nuclear fusion in general for more than 50 years. The engineering and construction problems are immense.
- titanomachy 12y agoThat's definitely true, and it's nice to have another set of brilliant engineers working on this problem from a somewhat different angle than that taken by previous brilliant engineers. Personally, I've become somewhat disillusioned with ITER after reading so much about their bureaucratic hurdles... but maybe they have enough talent onboard to pull it off anyway.
