The french got the fusion deal

Just managed to nick it from the japanese.

Interesting to see the so called 'world technology leaders' were a no-show.

Maybe they could make the charles de gaul fusion powered instead of fission powered.

I understand they have got most of the bugs out of it now - finally. Only hope the french learn from it.

While based in France, it's the Europeans that managed to clinch the deal from the Japanese, although the Japs will be responsible for up to 20% of the workforce and research facilities.

Fingers crossed that it works, and that they don't create a bloody wormhole!

"the fusion deal"?

You mean fusion reactor - or is this referring to some project or purchase codename?

Right, I need a BIG mortar, a ticket to france and a few years planning.

TIME FOR FRANCE TO TRY SOME NUKE TESTING

lol.. Its fusion not fission.

All you need is a bucket of sea water and a large amount of heat.

Yeah - the things is they don't want a big bang... (they did that over Japan...).

The results weren't encouraging...

A really bright, hot, ongoing kind of "fizzzzzz" would be good though!
