- threeseed 7y agoThis is the key question as there are quite a few Tokamaks around. Tokamak Energy has had an operational one for a while now. But they are quite some time away from having one that can generate surplus power. Question is whether China is up to this point yet. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuSlFJbBUIj1zfJLRnGXSow https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuSlFJbBUIj1zfJLRnGXSow

- tiborsaas 7y agoI looked into this when the news came out and found this article (2007) with many details: https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/P_1356_CD_web/datasets/executive_summary.html https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/P_1356_CD_web... "Judging from several key performance parameters, HL-2M will be the most advanced Tokamak in China, and also one of the leading devices worldwide, comparable to those in the U.S. and Europe," https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d674d34676a4d34457a6333566d54/index.html https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d674d34676a4d34457a6333566d54/...
