China Just Turned On Its Artificial Sun
Posted by Derick Lee in category: nuclear energy
Now that EAST has switched on for what its makers say is the real deal, the project has a lot to prove. It costs a huge amount of energy input to bring a tokamak reactorâs entire assembly up to speed. If a fusion reactor canât easily outpace that input, it will never produce power, let alone the dream of virtually limitless power that fusion proponents have sold for decades.
China has switched on its record-setting âartificial sunâ tokamak, state media reported today. This begins a timeline China hopes will be similar to the one planned by the global International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project.
