Question

ITER is considered important for India and the world because

I. It demonstrates sustainable, clean fusion energy for the future.

II. It allows India to participate in cutting-edge nuclear fusion research.

III. It provides immediate commercial electricity to reduce fossil fuel dependency.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Quintessence Classes · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is I and II only. Why Statements I and II are correct (and III is incorrect):Statement I is correct: ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment. Its primary goal is to prove that nuclear fusion can be a viable, sustainable, and clean source of large-scale energy for the future.Statement II is correct: India is one of the seven principal member entities (along with the EU, USA, Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea). Participating in ITER gives Indian scientists and domestic industries direct access to cutting-edge fusion technology.Statement III is incorrect: ITER is purely an experimental and research reactor. It is not designed to generate commercial electricity or feed power into any grid. The immediate commercial stage will come later with a successor project known as DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant), which will build upon ITER's results.
