Reaction must have a net energy gain
For information on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion
There are multiple initiatives pursuing nuclear fusion, please post in the comments if you find interesting ones that I haven't listed:
ITER: International collaboration to demonstrate fusion feasibility using the world's largest tokamak for magnetic confinement.
NIF: US-based facility employing inertial confinement fusion with powerful lasers to achieve ignition and energy gain.
JET: European tokamak research facility, contributing to ITER's development and exploring plasma physics and fusion technology.
W7-X: German stellarator aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of its complex magnetic field configuration for fusion power generation.
Private Companies: Start-ups such as TAE Technologies, Helion Energy, First Light Fusion, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems.
