More Progress as France Breaks Fusion Reaction Record

France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes - a new record. The milestone was reached at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor. Achieving the dream of commercial fusion power is the Holy Grail of engineering and has been for decades. With a single gram of hydrogen isotopes yielding the energy equivalent of 11 tonnes of coal, a…

CEA fusion reactor sets new plasma duration record

Scientists at the CEA’s WEST facility (operated at the Cadarache center in southern France) have reached a milestone in magnetic confinement fusion research, sustaining a superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds—just over 22 minutes. Achieved on February 12, this feat outstrips the previous record set a few weeks ago by China’s EAST tokamak and marks a… The post French fusion reactor’s 22-minute plasma record boosts energy hopes appeared first on Re…
