The Tokamak HL-2M fusion reactor was completed last year, but work on it has only recently been completed.

It commissioned a new type of fusion reactor in China on Friday, known as an “Artificial Sun,” the Xinhua State News Agency reported. It is the largest and most modern fusion reactor in China. The Tokamak HL-2M research reactor in Sichuan province could open up new avenues in the search for renewable energy sources.

The reactor creates a magnetic field so strong that the nuclei can fuse with the heat it produces. It can create temperatures in excess of 150 million degrees Celsius, which is ten times hotter than the interior of the Sun. That is why the reactor, which was completed last year, was dubbed the “artificial sun.”

Nuclear fusion could be a new method of energy production, a long-term alternative to burning fossil fuels and controversial nuclear fission. The method is clean as it does not produce waste or greenhouse gases.

The principle of nuclear fusion has already been applied to hydrogen bombs and should not be confused with nuclear fission. The latter is used in conventional nuclear power plants.

China is the biggest polluter in the world and its economic growth is based mainly on the use of fossil fuels. However, there is no other country that invests as much in renewable energy as China.
