(ANSA) - ROME, APR 9 - Eni said Tuesday it will help build the first nuclear fusion plant in a spin-off project between the Italian energy giant and the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the early 2030s.
    Eni plans to build the first industrial fusion power plant in the early 1930s, the group's head of fusion, Francesca Ferrazza, said at a hearing before the Senate Environment Committee.
    Eni is participating in the Commonwealth Fusion System (CFS) project in the US, a spinoff of MIT in Boston, using magnetic confinement technology.
    The Italian group plans to help build the first CFS-SPARC pilot plant in the mid-1920s.
    The first grid-connected industrial plant, CFS-ARC, is planned for the early 1930s, and new fully functioning power plants in the second half of the decade, said Ferrazza. (ANSA).
