Sun is the ultimate source of energy on
                                   earth. It creates energy by the process of nuclear fusion
                            where nuclear fission. The nuclei of two atoms fuse or join together,
                    giving off excess neutrons. In this process, the  nuclei  of  hydrogen, fuse 
            to create the nuclei of  helium.  The   resulting   helium  nucleus  is lighter  than 
sum   of   the  hydrogen  atoms  that   have  joined  together,  and   the   difference  in 
mass   is   represented   by   a   release   of   energy,  according  to  Einstein. s  formula
 E = mc².
In spite of difficulties involved  in achieving a  controlled fusion reaction, experiments
are  being  carried  out   in  a  number  of  countries.  The potential rewards  are almost incalculable. One gram of deuterium  would  release   energy  equivalent  to more than 
three metric tons of coal.  And a gram of tritium would yield  as  much  energy  as half 
a metric ton of coal.  Hydrogen in the form of deuterium and  tritium   is  a   substance 
that will exist as long as  there is  water on earth. NUCLEAR FUSION, in other words,
 may be the key to almost complete independence for mankind in creating energy.

The activity of Nuclear Fusion Research Center is divided into four groups:
Alvand Tokamak 
Damavand Tokamak 
Dena plasma Focus 
Industrial Application of Plasma
