Strange Reaction
Most people have seen pictures of nuclear reactors. At least, fission ones. The picture below is from Sandia Labs and is of one of a fusion reactor, or I should say one that could one day lead to a controlled fusion reactor.
To tell you the truth, just looking at a regular reactor gives me the heebeejeebies. But to see a fusion one, makes me think of Dr. Frankenstein's lab. At one time it is strangely beautiful and a fearsome sight. I wonder if we really understand the possible effects of the technology we are so diligently trying to produce?
