I happened to see this article on the (Australian) ABC news website tonight.
It would appear to be the ITER project "International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor", and is being built in France about 60 kilometres north east of Marseilles.
It's not cheap - "The initial budget was close to €6 billion, but the total price of construction and operations is projected to be from €18 to €22 billion; other estimates place the total cost between $45 billion and $65 billion, though these figures are disputed by ITER."
Here's hoping it's money well spent.
