China's Fusion Leap: A Game-Changer in Global Energy

China is building the world’s largest nuclear fusion research facility in Mianyang, southwestern China. This project surpasses similar efforts globally, including the National Ignition Facility NIF in California. Satellite images reveal the facility’s impressive scale. Four large structures house laser bays, converging on a central experimental chamber. Analysts estimate it’s 50% larger than its closest […]

The experiment bay at the Chinese facility is believed to be about 50 per cent bigger than one in the United States, currently the world’s largest.

Experts from two U.S. research institutions have discovered that China is building a new large-scale laser ignition nuclear fusion research center in Mianyang, Sichuan. Once completed, this facility will have a significant impact on the design and development of nuclear weapons and research on clean energy power generation.

Satellite photos show four outlying "arms" that will house laser bays, and a central experiment bay that will hold a target chamber containing hydrogen isotopes the powerful lasers will fuse together, producing energy, said Decker Eveleth, a researcher at US-based independent research organisation CNA Corp.
