France is now rushing to construct the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, (ITER), which is supposed to show that nuclear fusion can be used to power nuclear power stations. ITER is often presented as the long-term solution to the problem of global warming, because nuclear fusion can provide an infinite and clean source of energy.
法国正急着要建造国际核聚变实验堆，据称该实验堆可以显示核聚变能够用作核电站的能源。因为核聚变可以提供无限和清洁的能源，所以国际核聚变实验堆通常被看作是解决全球变暖问题的长期解决方案。但是国际核聚变实验堆无法做到这样的事。
