"While in conventional nuclear power stations energy is generated by nuclear fission, ITER is aimed at generating energy from nuclear fusion. This is the crucial difference from current nuclear power. Nuclear fission gives rise to long-term radiation and highly toxic substances that represent an enduring danger to man and the environment. In contrast, the residual products from nuclear fusion are far less radioactive. ITER could therefore pave the way for a sustainable source of energy, even if its use for power generation is still a long way off. ITER should therefore be given sufficient resources. Europe must stick to its guns and promote research with potential for the future. However, we need greater transparency and better cost estimates: exceeding the original budget by more than 300% is not acceptable. Moreover, continual increases in funding must not become the norm."@en1
