United Kingdom lights up its unusual nuclear fusion reactor

Good news! If humanity can finally and successfully harness nuclear fusion as a reliable and secure source of power generation ...

Who cares anymore about the Global Warming hoax or the Climate Change religion! The will go down in history as a footnote of human folly!

"MAST is a variation on the standard tokamak; it is shaped more like a cored apple than a doughnut. Researchers believe that shape can confer greater stability in the roiling plasma than a doughnut-shaped tokamak, but it is less well understood than the traditional design. ...
A parallel effort at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, called the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), was similarly upgraded. Soon after restarting in 2016, however, NSTX suffered a magnet failure and is now being rebuilt. "

United Kingdom lights up its unusual fusion reactor | Science | AAAS The United Kingdom’s revamped fusion reactor, known as the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade, powered up for the first time yesterday after a 7-year build. The £55 million device will be a testbed for technologies critical to all future fusion reactors, and may provide a stepping stone to a new design of energy-producing facility.
