Scientists in Britain say they have smashed a previous record for generating "sustained" fusion energy, on the protracted path towards harnessing a power source considered cheap and clean. A team at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility near Oxford in central England generated 59 megajoules of sustained energy during an experiment in December, more than doubling a 1997 record.

As world leaders meet in Paris to agree a legal framework aimed at limiting use of fossil fuels and the resulting rises in global temperatures, a UK company says it could be as little as five years from making "reactor relevant" fusion, a potential game changer in energy production.

Dr Leopoldo Soto showed off what he claims to be the world's smallest nuclear fusion device at the Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion Laboratory in Santiago, Chile. Under his supervision, the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (CCHEN) has been able to design the device at a low cost, and it could represent a major step forward in developing a fusion reaction that produces more energy than it takes in.
A Greenpeace activist hangs from the building hosting the Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels, organised by the IAEA, holding a sign that reads "Nuclear Fairytale." Promoting nuclear energy has been a taboo in Brussels, but the summit is designed to send out the message that it is key to fighting climate change. IMAGES
