YES sure, TELL ME how I can help you.
so i really want to know how can those sensors communicate with those actuactors and having big understanding about coding if possible u can share me how can be designed using esp8266 or esp32

Is it possible to create a small star on Earth with fusion energy in a laboratory and, through fusion energy, provide the entire planet with energy for humans? And create clean energy?
Abstract: Nuclear fusion is understood as an energy reaction that does not emit greenhouse gases, and it has been considered as a long-term source of low-carbon electricity that is favourable to curtail rapid climate change. Fusion offers a pathway to resolve energy security and the unequal distribution of energy resources since seawater is its ultimate fuel source and a few grams of fuel can generate mega kilowatts of power. The development and testing of new materials and technologies are unceasing to achieve the net fusion energy through national and international collaboration as well as private partnerships. The ever-growing number of research works report various designs and magnet-based fusion devices, such as stellarators, lasers, and tokamaks. This article provides an overview on the utilization of nuclear energy as a clean energy source, as well as the strategies and progress towards establishing successful commercial fusion energy to the grid and transition to a reliable clean energy source. The overview focuses on the fusion nuclear development in five major countries, UK, US, China, Japan, and Russia. Identified technical and financial challenges are also described at the end of this article. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) has been an international reference program for fusion energy development and most developed countries with nuclear development capacity are aiming to complete their in-house fusion energy facilities in parallel to ITER. Many fusion programs are finishing the conceptual design and shifting into the phase of engineering design for the planned DEMO fusion facilities. The significant challenges were identified from the perspective of device efficiency and robustness, sustainable funding, and facility maintenance and safety, which must be addressed diligently to realize fusion energy as alternative clean energy that mitigates climate change and supports the goals of energy security. Keywords: clean energy; fission reaction; fusion reaction; ITER; fusion devices; tokamaks.
Global Outlook of Nuclear Energy for Power Generation Clean energy and energy security have been the major critical elements strived for by most countries in the world to drive their economic sustainability and living quality. Energy that is affordable, clean, stable, and sustainable are the types of energy that capture global interest for the transition to renewable energy sources and are the means to combat greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change. However, the roll out of renewable energy sources for the energy mix such as solar, wind, hydrothermal, and biomass has illustrated their challenges. These sources are not uniformly available and are vulnerable, limited, and fluctuate depending on geopolitics and climate changes. The outlook for alternative clean and sustainable energy sources has been expanded into advanced technology that requires larger investments, extensive exploration, and plausible demonstration. Nuclear energy is one of the alternative innovative technologies that has growing interests globally for stable and clean energy generation. It offers minor GHG emissions and has the potential to be a cost-competitive technology in a long-run operation [1]. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) explained that nuclear power can provide stable low-carbon electricity. For instance, the UN’s Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) reported the range of CO2 released from nuclear energy in 2022 was 5.1–6.4 g CO2/kWh, which is the lowest CO2 emitted among all power generation technologies. Figure 1 compares the number of CO2-equivalent emissions per unit of electricity generated by major energy sources based on the lifecycle analysis conducted by the United Nations (UN) IPCC [2]. It indicates the median value for CO2 emitted from nuclear power plants is 12 g CO2/kWh, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 emitted from wind and lower compared to solar and other sources [3]. Coal and biomass co-firing are recognized as the energy sources with the largest estimated CO2 emissions, which are more than 60-fold higher than nuclear power. advanced technology that requires larger investments, extensive exploration, and plausible demonstration.

Coal and biomass co-firing are recognized as the energy sources with the largest estimated CO2 emissions, which are more than 60-fold higher By the end of 2022, the United States (US) was reported as the largest supplier of global nuclear electricity generation; it generated 30% of the total nuclear energy generation, which is equivalent to 772 TWh, whereas China contributed half of that amount, at 16% of the total [4]. This capacity has also been contributed to by the initiation of nuclear reactors in Japan since the Fukushima Daiichi incident in 2011. However, the US’s dependency on nuclear electricity was considered as minor compared to France, Russia, and South Korea. Nuclear electricity is the dominant source of power in France, where 63% of the electricity in the country was generated by nuclear sources, followed by Slovakia and Ukraine, at 59% and 58%, respectively [5]. The details of the nuclear electricity supplied by major countries in the world and the share of the total nuclear energy supply in the country are further illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 1.

The details of the nuclear electricity supplied by major countries in the world and the share of the total nuclear energy supply in the country are further illustrated in Figure 2. The contribution of nuclear power to global electricity production is still considered as minor compared to the proportions from fossil fuels and renewable sources. It was recorded that the total worldwide nuclear electricity production by end of 2022 was 2611 TWh, which was only 9.2% of the total global electricity generation [5]. Additionally, no significant growth was observed between the years 2002 and 2022, where the annual growth average was about 0.2% [5]. The trend of global nuclear electricity production compared to fossil fuels and renewable sources in the past 5 years is shown in Figure 3. For instance, the global nuclear electricity generation in 2022 was observed to be lower by 4.7% compared to the previous year. This decline is mostly associated with the shutdown of many nuclear power plants for maintenance in France, Germany, and Japan, which exceed the planned shutdown schedule. The conflict in Ukraine has also forced several reactors to shut down
