      At the moment nuclear fusion isn’t used for anything exactly. All the experiments people are doing are to understand how to control the fusion reaction and contain it safely. Once this is understood I hope there will be nuclear fusion power plants built. These will porduce power like a normal power plant for powering everything from factories to X-Boxes!
