What Is Heat Fusion?

Thermonuclear fusion technology, nuclear fusion, that is, when hydrogen nuclei (deuterium and tritium) combine to form heavier nuclei (helium), they emit huge energy. The thermonuclear reaction is the basis of a hydrogen bomb explosion, which can generate a large amount of thermal energy in an instant, but it is not yet available. Controlled thermonuclear reactions can be achieved if the thermonuclear reactions can be generated and carried out in a controlled manner according to people's intentions within a certain restricted area. This is the major subject of experimental research. Controlled thermonuclear reactions are the basis of fusion reactors. Fusion reactors, once successful, could provide humanity with the cleanest and inexhaustible energy.

Thermonuclear fusion technology, as a future-oriented thermonuclear fusion technology, may take 30 to 50 years before it can become a stable energy supply. China is actively participating in international energy technology cooperation projects

Introduction to Thermonuclear Fusion Technology

EAST is spelled with the initials of the words "Experimental", "Advanced", "Superconducting", and Tokamak. Its Chinese meaning is "Advanced Experimental Superconducting Tokamak", and it also has The meaning of "Orient". The EAST device is the world's first fully superconducting tokamak device designed and developed by China.

Recent advances in thermonuclear fusion technology

On July 4, 2017, the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the National Science Equipment-the world's first all-superconducting Tokamak (EAST) Oriental Super Ring retransmits the good news, achieving a stable 101.2 second stability The state of long-pulse high-constrained plasma operation set a new world record.

This marks that EAST has become the world's first tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device that achieves a steady-state high-constraint mode operation duration of the order of hundreds of seconds.

This milestone important breakthrough shows that China s magnetically constrained fusion research will continue to lead the international front in the physical and engineering aspects of steady-state operation. Construction and operation are of great scientific significance, and at the same time have laid an important technical foundation for human development and utilization of nuclear fusion clean energy. ^[3]
