What could go wrong?
Who’d they steal that technology from?
My thoughts exactly. How in the hell would you be able to contain any type of breach or leak with something 10X the power of the sun???
All you need to do to get a steady fusion reaction is heat deuterium and tritium (isotopes of hydrogen) to 100,000,000 degrees.
Piece of cake!
But does it generate net energy?
“That’s a real nice artificial sun you’ve got there...”
Not content with simply unleashing a deadly plague on the world, the Chinese now aim for the mother of all melt-downs.
Just a bright sunny day. Brighter than anything they are used to.
Even if it did, how long can it be sustained when its 10x hotter than the sun unless the cooling system is exceptionally reliable?
What could go wrong?
From the country that brought you covid.
“successfully powered up its “artificial sun” nuclear fusion reactor for the first time, China's People's Daily reported on Friday. It's designed to be a clean energy source, similar to the real Sun.” Isn't commie nonsense great?
I see injectors, a very thin wall and no electromagnets.
If it really was working, the lack of shielding would kill anyone within 100yds.
Fusion releases LOTS of neutrons
Where did they steal the technology from ?
The containment apparatus is insufficient .... therefore the article is a lie !
Of course not. If China had a working fusion generator, that would be big news. But the point is they're doing a ton of fusion research - the US would be smart to do the same.

First glance I thought this was on the moon. You know the moon with the 3-inch chicom flag
Chernobyl chopsticks
Nothing about the length of a sustained thermonuclear reaction, or even if there has been one.
There are a bunch controlled fusion devices here and there in the world. Hope this one does great things but no evidence from the article.
Mistakes can be made. I made one recently but this is a lie ....
