The Tokamak can only work in pulsed mode.
The institute is currently in the process of building the Steady State Superconducting Tokamak(SST-1).
Using the experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak(EAST), which is called Chinese"artificial sun",
the physicists were able to heat plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius(which is 6 times hotter than the core of our star) a.
On 13th November 2018, scientists from China's Institute of Plasma Physics
announced that plasma in their Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST) also called the“artificial sun”,
reached 100 million °C, the temperature required to perform nuclear fusion on Earth.
China's EAST Tokamak and Germany's Wendelstein 7-X aren't exactly
fusion energy's answer to Messi and Ronaldo, but through their own flashes of individual brilliance the reactors might one day command the world's attention in a much more important way.
With the help of experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak(EAST), which is called the Chinese“artificial sun“,
physicists were able to heat the plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius(which is 6 times higher than the core temperature of our star) and reach a heating power of 10 MW.
