- China has announced a significant milestone in nuclear fusion energy development, completing the world's largest fusion reactor superconducting magnet and successfully testing a domestically produced high-temperature superconducting central solenoid coil.
- As CGTN reported, the 582-tonne Toroidal Field (TF) superconducting magnet, now the world's largest for fusion reactors, passed an expert review.
- This achievement, validated by experts, positions China closer to practical fusion power generation with fully domestic supply chains, according to Pandaily.
- China Daily highlighted that the Toroidal Field magnet measures 21 meters in length, 12 meters in width, and 3.3 meters in height, weighing 582 metric tons.
- The high-temperature superconducting central solenoid coil also completed full-condition testing, with its key indicators and core performance reaching internationally leading levels, as noted by İlkha.
- Both magnet systems achieved 100% domestic production across their entire supply chains, from superconducting materials to fabrication processes, strengthening China's independent research and engineering capabilities.
China's Fusion Magnet Breakthrough
China has achieved a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion, successfully completing the world's largest superconducting magnet for fusion reactors and testing a domestically produced high-temperature superconducting central solenoid coil. This significant milestone, built entirely with domestic supply chains, positions China closer to practical fusion power generation and highlights its independent engineering prowess.
