GUANGZHOU, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Forty-eight blanket shield block modules departed from China on Friday, heading to France for the construction of the world's largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Departing from the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the components...
the plasma temperature must reach more than 100 million degrees Celsius. As long as the conditions are not met, the reaction will not occur. Therefore, the nuclear fusion reactor is safe and controllable, and there is no runaway problem. ...
China has rolled out a core component in the world's largest nuclear fusion reactor project, also known as the world's largest "artificial sun", its developer said Tuesday. The production of the enhanced-heat-flux first wall panel of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), ...
The mapping of insects' brains and cell types across the adult human brain, the world's first eye transplant surgery, and a draft human pangenome reference were selected into the world's advances in the field of biology. The operation of the world's largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor...
000ºC in an "artificial sun". The new record was for keeping the heat at a temperature that is five times hotter than the sun. It did this for more than 17 minutes. The extreme heat was created in a nuclear fusion ...
The technologies this standard involves arise from International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, a fusion research project supported by several countries, including China. With this standard, more technologies are likely to be developed to detect improper functions of other equipment, including steam gene...
a donut-shaped reactor, when neutrons escaping the plasma interact with a specific element – lithium – contained in the blanket. "Now, fusion scientists have come up with the idea of using tritium breeding blanket to produce tritium and generate electricity in a fusion reactor," Wang e...

Li is also the head of China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor, more commonly known as the “artificial sun.” In October, it set a record by generating a plasma current of over one million amperes, which is necessary for nuclear fusion. ...
China's "artificial sun" just smashed a fusion world record. The formidable reactor reached 120 million degrees Celsius for an astounding 101 seconds.
