Fusion Energy. In a fusion reaction, two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form heavier ones ... The fusion process releases a large amount of energy, which is the energy source of the sun and the stars. Fusion has some key features which make it an attractive option in a future energy mix: the fusion process is inherently safe; waste which will not be a burden for future generations; no emission of greenhouse gases; and the capacity for large scale energy production. 5, record 4, English, - fusion%20power

L'énergie de fusion. La fusion est une autre forme d'énergie nucléaire. Elle cumule les avantages du nucléaire «classique» (densité énergétique, pas de pollution en fonctionnement...) tout en se donnant pour objectifs la diminution voire la suppression de ses inconvénients (pas de déchets à long terme, sûreté intrinsèque, combustibles abondants). [...] Pour être viables, [les] formes d'énergie devront bien évidemment satisfaire à des critères économiques mais aussi prendre en compte des exigences en terme d'environnement, de sûreté de fonctionnement, de disponibilité des ressources. L'énergie de fusion, dont la faisabilité reste à démontrer, répond à l'ensemble de ces exigences. 4, record 4, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20de%20fusion

Complémentairement à l'énergie nucléaire de fission, il existe une énergie également d'origine nucléaire, c'est-à-dire liée à une transformation structurelle des noyaux atomiques, qui s'appelle l'énergie nucléaire de fusion.

The plasma spray process is basically the spraying of molten or heat softened material onto a surface to provide a coating. Material in the form of powder is injected into a very high temperature plasma flame, where it is rapidly heated and accelerated to a high velocity. The hot material impacts on the substrate surface and rapidly cools forming a coating. This plasma spray process carried out correctly is called a "cold process"(relative to the substrate material being coated) as the substrate temperature can be kept low during processing avoiding damage, metallurgical changes and distortion to the substrate material. 1, record 9, English, - plasma%20spray%20process
