U-T SAN DIEGO: GA
Gives Fusion Research a Big Lift
… There are great challenges to overcome — as well as great potential benefits…Researchers have
found that the energy released by fusing atoms together can be up to four times greater than fission,
where atoms are split apart.

KFMB/8:
World’s Most Powerful Electromagnet Unveiled
…Powerful enough to lift an aircraft carrier right of the water, designed to bring the power of the sun
down to earth and create a new energy source without toxic waste…the objective of fusion is to give the
planet a sustainable clean energy soruce that would last the world for tens of thousands of years.

TIMES OF SAN DIEGO:
General Atomics’ Giant Magnet Will
Enable Fusion on Earth
…Developing reliable fusion reactors would provide virtually limitless, environmentally friendly power
on Earth. Fusion converts hydrogen from water directly into energy, but takes place at temperatures
found only in the sun, creating an enormous engineering challenge.
