Re: New technology?
The thing that seems to be holding it up the most is politics. Everyone was arguing about where to have the new experimental plant seeing as it was an international project. Last year they finally decided to build it in France. It will take 10 years to build and will be in operation for 20 years at a cost of $12.1 dollars - that makes it the second most expensive scientific project after the International Space Station!
It should hopefully be up and running in 2016 and is a huge step in the right direction. It should show we can scale it up to a full size reactor.
