• Resumen

  • When senior IAEA officials attended the second United Nations International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in 1958, they witnessed the release of what until then had been State secrets — attempts by countries to harness the power of nuclear fusion. According to those disclosures, fusion promised to provide near limitless energy for society. Fusion requires nuclei to be brought together in a process that releases much more energy from the same amount of fuel than nuclear fission, where atoms are split.
