Like Italy and Japan, Canada has expressed an interest in hosting the
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) being planned by Japan,
Europe, Russia and Canada. 鈥淚t is not a formal proposal,鈥� says Ernesto Canobbio,
adviser to the European Commission鈥檚 fusion programme. He says Canada鈥檚 move is
interesting because labour and energy are cheaper there than in the other two
countries. Japan also has a moratorium on big science projects. Canada would
have to pay a quarter of the construction costs if the $3 billion fusion
project ended up there. The US bowed out of ITER two years ago.
