The state-of-the-art reactor is designed to replicate the processes of the sun as part of a project to turn hydrogen into cost-effective green energy.It reached a key milestone this week when it hit 180 million F (100 million C) for the first time, which is believed to be the temperature at which nuclear fusion occurs.Scientists across the globe are locked in a race to build the world's first operational nuclear fusion reactor.The victor will unlock a source of near-limitless clean energy worth billions that some believe could save the planet from the climate change crisis.
