RAZOR, CGTN Europe's science and technology show, has published a 27-minute episode on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project.

Host Neil Cairns takes the viewer into some of the most interesting spaces of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site, including the cathedral-like Tokamak pit, the gargantuan Assembly Hall and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Headquarters where staff from 35 nations are collaborating to "recreate the Sun's energy" on Earth. Through interviews with workers, managers and staff, the documentary captures the ambition of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ and the gamechanging nature of fusion. "It's like when humans learned how to use fire," says one of the Chinese consortium members involved in machine assembly. "This is the second fire of humans in our history."

The has released its third annual survey of private fusion enterprises around the world.

The fusion industry continues to grow globally, with 13 new entrants, USD 1.4 billion (EUR 12.5 billion) in fresh funding, and nearly 1,000 direct jobs (+3,000 in the supply chain) created.

Private fusion initiatives exist in Australia (1), Canada (1), China (2), France (1), Israel (1), Italy (1), Germany (3), Japan (3), New Zealand (1), Sweden (1), the United Kingdom (3), and the United States (25).

These fusion companies are also benefitting at times from public money, as governments seek to spur innovation through public-private partnerships.

The companies participating in the survey spoke of their optimism about delivering fusion power to the grid, although "challenges remain."
