35 countries including European states, China , Russia and the US agreed to build at Saint-Paul-lez-Durance in southern France at a starting cost of $ 6bn .
Work began in 2010 , with a commitment that there would be energy-producing reactions by 2020 .
Then reality set in. Cost overruns, Covid , corrosion of key parts, last-minute redesigns and confrontations with nuclear safety officials triggered delays.
Iter denies it is in big trouble’ and rejects the idea that it is a record-breaking science project for cost overruns and delays.
Others point out that fusion power’s limited carbon emissions would boost the battle against climate change.
“Fusion will arrive too late to help us cut carbon emissions in the short term,” says Aneeqa Khan .
