The world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor began its five-year assembly phase in Cadarache, southern France.

The 23,000 tonne device, built by the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) consortium, will replicate the reactions that power the sun.  

It will be the first fusion device to produce net energy, maintain fusion for long periods of time, and test the technologies necessary for the creation fusion-based electricity.

The project is a joint effort by Japan, India, the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and South Korea.

With this experiment, scientists hope to demonstrate that nuclear fusion can provide a limitless source of cheap, safe and clean electricity.

However, it will take until 2035, after a decade of testing and upgrades, to establish whether the reactor actually works as intended.
