AI Overview
China achieved a major milestone by conducting the first commercial hydrogen-boron fusion reactions using the EXL-50U spherical tokamak developed by the ENN Group.
Recent Hydrogen Fusion Breakthroughs
- ENN Group: The Hebei-based clean energy firm successfully controlled high-parameter hydrogen-boron plasma in its EXL-50U device, achieving a rate exceeding 100 million reactions per second. This neutron-free reaction fuses a hydrogen proton with a boron-11 nucleus to release energy and harmless helium (alpha particles) without high-energy radioactive neutrons. ENN also laid the foundation for its third-generation Helong-2 platform.
- BEST Project: Located in Hefei, Anhui province, the Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST) is a major next-generation engineering site aiming to demonstrate usable electricity generation by 2030. Over half of the main reactor is built, utilizing record-breaking 582-ton superconducting magnets.
- EAST & HL-3 Tokamak: China's EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) in Hefei and the HL-3 in Chengdu continue setting operational records, such as maintaining 100-million-degree plasma for over 1,000 seconds and pushing plasma densities past the traditional Greenwald limit. Fusion is a core priority under China's national development strategy.
