Nuclear power to play key role in China s clean energy plans
China s artificial sun -a nuclear fusion reactor that mimics the activity taking place within our nearest star-could help the country reach its target of producing fusion energy for commercial use by 2050, insiders said.
The new-generation HL-2M Tokamak began operating in December in Chengdu, Sichuan province. It has since achieved its first plasma discharge, said China National Nuclear Corp.
Designed to replicate inner sun reactions using hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuel, the apparatus will provide clean energy through controlled nuclear fusion and is expected to greatly enhance the research and development of key technologies in plasma physics research in China, CNNC said.
