Nuclear-fusion reactor smashes energy record. “It’s a really, really good sign and I’m excited,' says fusion physicist Josefine Proll.
The Joint European Torus tokamak reactor near Oxford, UK, is a test bed for the world’s largest fusion experiment — ITER in France.A 24-year-old nuclear-fusion record has crumbled. Scientists at the Joint European Torus near Oxford, UK, announced on 9 February that they had generated the highest sustained energy pulse ever created by fusing together atoms, more than doubling their own record from experiments performed in 1997.
“JET really achieved what was predicted. The same modelling now says ITER will work,” says fusion physicist Josefine Proll at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, who works on an different kind of reactor called a stellarator. “It’s a really, really good sign and I’m excited.
