 |  Chinese fusion reactor reaches the correct temperature Set the controls to the heart of the Artificial sun Chinese nuclear boffins have gotten their fusion reactor to the temperature needed to keep a fusion reaction that produces more power than it takes to run. The team of scientists from China's Institute of Plasma Physics announced this week that plasma in their Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — dubbed the "artificial sun" — reached a 100 million degrees Celsius. The temperature at the core of the sun is said to be about 15 million degrees Celsius, making the plasma in China's "artificial sun" more than six times hotter than the original. The "artificial sun" is designed to replicate the fusion process that occurs in the sun and Dr Matthew Hole said the achievement is significant for fusion science around the world Fusion is seen as a solution for energy issues as it is clean, sustainable and powerful. "The benefit is simple in that it is very large-scale base load [continuous] energy production, with zero greenhouse gas emissions and no long-life radioactive waste. "It provides a silver bullet energy solution … providing that one can harness it." https://fudzilla.com/news/47601-chin...ct-temperature |
