Fusion Reactor
Nuclear fusion energy is a massive energy produced by nuclear fusion reaction of light nuclei such as deuterium and tritium to become heavier nuclei.
Research and development to make use of nuclear fusion energy has been conducted as a national project since 1960s in Japan, and has been making steady progress with the goal of realizing fusion power reactor as a future energy source.
MHI has been contributing to these national projects, utilizing its comprehensive background in the engineering and manufacturing of nuclear power generation and aviation/space systems.

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER)
Based on the R&D experience for fusion technologies, MHI has been participating in the ITER project, which is the next step in an international R&D effort to develop workable fusion.
ITER, the first experimental reactor demonstrating fusion energy on a practical scale, will contribute to the development of fusion energy.
