China leads several major milestones in hydrogen nuclear and hydrogen-boron fusion research:
Key Facilities & Projects
- EAST ("Artificial Sun"): Located in Hefei, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak sustained an ultra-hot plasma over 100 million°C for 1,066 seconds (17 minutes). It also breached the Greenwald theoretical density limit (reaching 1.65 times the limit).
- BEST Machine: The Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak is currently under construction in Hefei (more than halfway assembled) to use deuterium-tritium fuel and convert fusion power into electricity by 2030.
- Helong-2 & ENN Group: ENN Group broke ground on the Helong-2 hydrogen-boron fusion facility in Langfang (Hebei province), a 120-acre research platform targeting commercial electricity generation by 2030.
- EXL-50U Tokamak: ENN Group's spherical tokamak achieved 100 million hydrogen-boron fusion reactions per second, merging hydrogen protons with boron-11 to produce helium (alpha particles) without high-energy neutrons.
