radioactive waste, no greenhouse gases, and makes lots of electricity. fusion works by fusing 2 atomic nuclei. scientists in california have been firing powerful lasers that a hydrogen pellet until the fusion reaction occurs and releases energy. scientists say one small cup of hydrogen fuel is enough to power a house for hundreds of yours. rafael hershey is a professor of nuclear astrophysics. it kill university, he says nuclear fusion is a key asset to renewable energy resources. this is critical. i mean, one of the major changes on the fusion. it has to take place at very high temperatures, you know, probably in the sun that the nuclear fusion is what power the sun does. so at 50000000 degrees. so in order to start the fusion process, we must reach such high temperatures to be able to enabled as you get reactions. a fusion is basically taking small nuclei, choosing them or merging them together,

producing energy, whereas nuclear fission destroys a very large nuclei into smaller fragments and didn't small fragments have too much neutrons that makes them radioactive and therefore hard to store on how to deal with. whereas fusion does not create those radioactive ways, so it's much cleaner. we are producing nuclear energy. i think it will require a large investment from international community governments, private groups funding agency. but in couple of decades when things are ready, it will be more productive than you fissions. so it will be a key asset audition to renew when energy sources and really power the world going forward. farmers and traders. and i'm gonna start are struggling to find international buyers for their saffron. the space is a major source of income and farmers say output has increased significantly this year. but sales have been difficult since countries sever ties with. i've gone
