Large experimental installations built to study nuclear fusion, including the international ITER tokamak in France and the National Ignition Facility in California, which uses lasers. A facility belongs here when its cited article describes a fusion research installation. It excludes fission power stations, and this group records places built to test fusion and not to sell electricity. These installations test whether fusion can produce more energy than it consumes, using either magnetic confinement or lasers, and a facility is placed here by the fusion experiment the cited article describes.
