CHINA’S ARTIFICIAL SUN JUST BROKE A RECORD FOR LONGEST SUSTAINED NUCLEAR FUSION
TEN TIMES OVER

At the headquarters of China’s most powerful nuclear fusion reactor, Chinese
scientists rang in the new year by setting a world record for the
longest-sustained operation of such a reactor, beating a world record they set
last year 10 times over.
China’s record-breaking Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in
Heifei managed to heat plasma to 120 million Fahrenheit, or 70 million Celsius,
for around 17.5 minutes—the longest any nation has ever been able to contain a
super-heated plasma.
The relevance is two-fold. First, the longer the plasma can be contained in the
reactor, the more electricity is produced, and the greater the volume of these
successful tests around the world, the more the case for nuclear fusion power
grows. Second, the jump in magnitude between the record set by EAST in July of
2021, and that of December 2022, shows just how fast this technology is
advancing.
“We achieved a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds
in an experiment in the first half of 2021. This time, steady-state plasma
operation was sustained for 1,056 seconds at a temperature close to 70 million
degrees Celsius, laying a solid scientific and experimental foundation toward
the running of a fusion reactor,” said Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences Plasma Institute.
HOW IT WORKS
Nuclear fusion reactors are often called “artificial suns” in the media, as they
replicate the way stars form and continue to generate matter. A heavy ionized
gas called plasma, that makes up most of the stars in the universe, is formed in
the reactor by different methods for different reactors. Currently there are
many institutions pushing different models of fusion power.
RELATED: Australian Company Works to Make Energy From Nuclear Fusion – But
Without the Fiery Ball of Plasma
EAST fires a supercharged laser at heavy hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and
tritium. If ice is hydrogen in a solid form, water is liquid, and vapor is gas,
plasma is what happens when you really turn the heat up. The plasma would
normally dissipate and rapidly cool, but superconducting magnets replicate the
intense gravitational pressure at the center of the sun to keep it contained.
Once contained under this pressure, which is tens of thousands of times stronger
than the Earth’s, the atomic nuclei of the hydrogen atoms overcome their
magnetic resistance and push against each other under the heat to fuse, hence
the name fusion.
In order for this process to generate electricity, four hydrogen atoms must fuse
together to create a helium atom. Energy is released during this process which
in the sun is bled off into the solar system, but in the confines of the reactor
is collected for energy.

Magnet – Just Powered Up
Considering the gravity and price tag of these experiments it seems valuable to
question why. Nuclear fusion power generates no emissions expect for helium.
Most operators are preparing to adapt seawater as a fuel source rather than
uranium or plutonium, as seawater contains a bit of deuterium and tritium.
Furthermore the output is extraordinary, with one liter of seawater expected to
generate the same amount of electricity as 300 liters of oil.
CHECK OUT: Finally, a Fusion Reaction Has Generated More Energy Than Absorbed By
The Fuel
“It’s probably the last energy source we’ll ever tame,” Dennis Whyte, a Canadian
scientist who is director of plasma science fusion center at MIT, told the
Financial Post last year.
“I think of the trajectory from taming fire and it finally completes in fusion,
because we’ll have tamed the energy source of the stars.”

Absolutely amazing I could care less what country there from all I care is
that they manged to get it running for that long now we just need it to be
self sustaining and get heat transfer to water or something and boom fully
functioning tokamak reactors and more helium as well as that would be useful
as well as we use helium to cool it down it can be recycled into it yay were
so close keep up the good work guys were almost there (bye maybe a few years
at best hopefully shorter)
