The future of laser Fusion after ITER is still uncertain and depends on several factors such as the success of ITER, advances in laser and plasma technology, and government funding for research.
If ITER is successful in demonstrating the feasibility of fusion as a practical and sustainable energy source, it will likely lead to the development of commercial fusion reactors, which would pave the way for widespread use of fusion energy.
On the other hand, if ITER faces significant technical and financial challenges, it could result in reduced funding and slower progress in the field.
Regardless of the outcome of ITER, research into Laser Fusion is likely to continue. Advances in laser technology could lead to more efficient and cost-effective ways of producing fusion reactions. Additionally, continued research into plasma physics and fusion reactions will deepen our understanding of the processes involved and lead to further improvements in the technology.
In conclusion, the future of laser fusion after ITER will be shaped by a combination of technical advances, funding, and the outcome of ITER.
