Beijing has successfully powered up its βartificial sunβ nuclear fusion reactor for the first time, Chinaβs Peopleβs Daily reported on Friday. Itβs designed to be a clean energy source, similar to the real Sun.
Made to replicate the natural reactions that occur in the sun using hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuels, the HL-2M Tokamak reactor is China’s largest and most advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device.
It is located in southwestern Sichuan province and was completed late last year. The reactor is often called an “artificial sun” due to the enormous heat and power it produces.
