In early December, The all superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device (East), known as the "artificial sun", was put into operation again. Song Yuntao, vice president of Hefei Institute of material sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the Institute of plasma physics, said that the experiment was based on the summary of the results of the previous round of experiments and the upgrading of East auxiliary heating and other systems, with the goal of making the "artificial sun" Impact towards more "hot" and more "lasting". At present, the engineering design of the next generation "artificial sun" - China fusion engineering experimental reactor has been completed, and the comprehensive research facilities for the key systems of the fusion reactor host are under construction.
