There is no reason to believe this won't be up to their normal state project quality and safety bench marks

The sun coronavirus get your factor 200 on

Thermonuclear devices are nuclear fission, not fusion.


Wrong, while a two stage Thermonuclear device does have a fission primary, most of the yield comes from the fusion secondary

I'm sorry but it seems to me that the only solution is turning China to fucking glass

Fission CHIPS made in a microWaVe 5 times hotter than the SUn

Thermonuclear bombs are an example of nuclear fusion, the trick is to get nuclear fusion in a controlled fashion as an alternative to nuclear power, which uses nuclear fission

Oxford are in on this sort of thing, too.

Search for Oxford Tokamak.

Just hope Evergrande were not involved at any stage....Oh! Wait!!

Nothing (NOTHING) ever goes wrong in China because we don't instantly hear about it on the news/interweb thingy.

What you so negative about this Mad Dog? What do you know about China?

"The process requires no fossil fuels and leaves behind no hazardous waste materials"

Not that we would ever know until a pandemic of radiation poisoning

Once they crack that puzzle. Then things get really juicy.As the Chinese themselves say.”May you live. In interesting times.”

A nuclear fusion reactor in China has set a new record for sustained high temperatures after running five-times hotter than the Sun for more than 17 minutes, according to state media.

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as an “artificial sun”, reached temperatures of 70 million degrees Celsius during the experiments, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The ultimate aim of developing the artificial sun device is to deliver near-limitless clean energy by mimicking the natural reactions occurring within stars.

“The recent operation lays a solid scientific and experimental foundation towards the running of a fusion reactor,” Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who led the latest experiment, told Xinhua.

The EAST project, which has already cost China more than £700 billion, will run the experiment until June.

Nuclear fusion has been touted as the holy grail of clean energy production, however it remains a long way off from being realised outside of a lab despite decades of research into the technology.

Replicating the physics of the actual sun, nuclear fusion reactors merge atomic nuclei in order to generate massive amounts of energy that can be turned into electricity.

The process requires no fossil fuels and leaves behind no hazardous waste materials, unlike the nuclear fission process that powers commercial nuclear energy production. Physicists also claim that there is also far less risk of an environmental disaster.
