'We need a lot more clean and safe energy in the future. Fusion energy is able to meet this demand,' says President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen at the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. 'That's why it is correct to invest in fusion energy.'

After ten years of service, a 'veteran' crane known as C2 was retired from the #ITER worksite. A 84 m tall 'workhorse' - one of its assignments the lifting of 30 t nuclear door frames into the #Tokamak .
