Plasma is the state needed to sustain fusion reactions - the ultimate source of clean energy. (Photo: CEA)

WEST's success comes from the application of super-heat-resistant tungsten material in the reactor. (Photo: CEA)

This is an important step towards the first commercial reactor, like the ITER project. (Photo: ITER)
