China Sets New Target for Nuclear Fusion StudyAuthorities from the United States, Germany and Japan, together with Chinese experts, recently had a discussion on the physical target of the experimental unit of China HL-2 A which is about to be completed in Chengdu and fixed a new target for China nuclear fusion study.To be completed by the year-end, China HL-2 A is the largest and the most representative nuclear fusion experimental installation. Experts set the physical target as follows: Carry out physical study on the filters and scraping levels in the Tokamak Device, promote improving and restricting technology of plasma under the condition of near-reactor, and develop plasma heating technology, electronic current driving technology, feeding technology and plasma measure technology under the condition of plasma reactor. Experts believe that the target fixed is in line with the focus of present world study on nuclear fusion technology. China's study will contribute to the development of world nuclear fusion study and international fusion program. The final target of nuclear fusion study is to set up fusion power plants to provide the human beings with inexhaustible new energy. China started its study on nuclear fusion in the mid-1980s. The completion and operation of HL-2 A will advance its study to a new height. By PD Online Staff Member Du Minghua |
