France Sets New All-Time Artificial Sun Fusion Record, Surpassing China

France’s WEST reactor broke all-time artificial sun fusion record, surpassing China’s milestone with a 22-minute plasma burn. Credit: Christopher Roux, EUROfusion / CC BY 4.0 Scientists in France have set a new all-time record in artificial sun fusion, surpassing a recent record set by China. The breakthrough brings researchers closer to harnessing a nearly limitless source of clean energy. The WEST fusion reactor sustained hydrogen plasma at ex…

Nuclear fusion machine in France beats world record for the longest plasma duration

A nuclear fusion machine in southern France has maintained a plasma for more than 22 minutes, beating the previous world record by 5 minutes.

The new tests of the famous WEST reactor in the French Republic yield good results. Clean and unlimited energy is increasingly close to humanity.

Researchers at the CEA Centre in Cadarache have maintained a plasma generated by nuclear fusion for 22 minutes, Wednesday, February 12. This type of nuclear reaction offers in perspective low-cost and low-cost energy.

It is called the "energy of the stars" and perhaps represents the future of clean energy. Yesterday, in France, scientists maintained a plasma for 22 minutes, far exceeding the latest Chinese nuclear fusion record, a method opposed to fission, used in power plants around the world.
