The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (Korea Fusion) announced on the 4th that it has published the country's first original fusion science fairy tale, "Thank You, Twin Sun," to make fusion energy accessible and interesting for children. The story is structured so that children can naturally understand the concept of fusion energy and recognize its importance through the process of the main character, "Byeori," creating an "artificial sun" to save her robot dog, "Star." Korea Fusion plans to distribute the fairy tale books to public libraries nationwide and kindergartens in the Chungcheong region.
