The longterm presence of the snow atop Switzerland's most famous mountain, the Matterhorn, may indirectly depend on the success of fusion energy.
As a member of Euratom, Switzerland has been involved in the European fusion program and ITER from the start. In a formal process initiated by the government last fall and concluded in March, the Swiss government has ratified the accession of Switzerland to the European Domestic Agency Fusion for Energy as a third country member.
