China launches "artificial sun"

The new nuclear synthesis reaction laboratory of China's "artificial sun" was launched this month.

Xinhua News Agency reported that the new nuclear synthesis reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction round of the "artificial sun" (full name is Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak - EAST), which was launched at the Hop Phi Institute of Phytical Sciences, Anhui Province, this month.

According to Mr. Song Yuntao, deputy director of the Hop Phi Institute of Physical Sciences, this experiment aims to upgrade the EAST auxiliary heating system to make the artificial sun "hotter" and "more durable". The trial is expected to last for half a year.

The EAST reactor is designed to recreate the nuclear synthesis process performed by the sun. Since it first came into operation in 2006, EAST has been an open testing platform for Chinese and international scientists to conduct nhiet ring-related experiments.

China's artificial sun has set several records for the time it has kept the plasma extremely hot. In June, EAST reached its highest temperature of 160 million degrees Celsius, more than 10 times hotter than the Sun.

EAST is one of three major inland Tokamak currently operating across China. This is part of the International External External Trade Union (CSETR), which will become the world's largest nuclear reactor when it begins operation in 2035.

Artificial solar, which is essentially thermal technology, can provide an endless source of clean energy by simulating the nuclear thermal process in the Sun - despite requiring complex techniques and high costs.

The Chinese government has asked scientists to prepare for the China Thermal External Trade Union (CSETR) testing reactor, including designing and building a large testing facility in the city of Hongfi.

The goal of the project is to CFETR become the first facility to produce thermal electricity for the nuclear synthesis reaction. The challenge of this activity is controlling an extremely hot gas, hydrogen, with the temperature inside the reactor expected to reach or exceed 100 million degrees Celsius.

The Chinese government plans to start construction of a series of thermal power plants before 2060 - the deadline to meet the country's goal of carbon neutrality.
