Who’d they steal that technology from?

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?

The lines write themselves.

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

The containment apparatus is insufficient .... therefore the article is a lie !

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.

By harnessing the power produced through nuclear fusion it is possible to tap into almost limitless clean energy.

So, does that mean that they will stop dumping their garbage into their rivers, which dump into the Pacific and create that ball of crap swirling in the middle of the ocean?

Sooner or later, one way or another, intentionally or not, the Chinese will be the death of all of us.

They use it to heat up their bat soup.

In my 1980 Master's thesis I posited that there was a path to fusion power by 2005.

While I addressed the Russian Tokamak approach, I preferred the laser implosion technology being studied at Lawrence Livermore.

, the HL-2M Tokamak reactor

Steak 'n Shake is getting into the nuclear reactor game?

We were working the Tokamak at Oak Ridge in the 80s.
