CHINA UNVEILS HL-4 TOKAMAK AS WORLD'S FIRST HTS STEADY-STATE ‘BURNING' FUSION FACILITY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

China's HL-4 tokamak is designed to achieve steady-state burning operation. It is aiming to become the world's first high-temperature superconducting, high-field steady-state burning experimental platform. The project's goal is to verify the reliability of high-temperature superconducting magnets under complex fusion conditions. Once the core scientific and engineering questions are validated, the program will construct a demonstration reactor to prove the technology commercially.
