Nuclear fusion aims to control inherently unstable plasma, offering a highly efficient energy source with minimal fuel use and no long-lived radioact

WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache site in southern France and one of the EUROfusion consortium medium size Tokamak facilities, was able to maintain a plasma for on 12 February. This was a 25% improvement on the previous record time achieved with EAST,

Plasma was kept stable for 22 minutes at the French research reactor WEST. The team wants to achieve several hours in future.

Nuclear fusion has the much-vaunted potential to provide the world with clean, safe and nearly inexhaustible energy. Read more at straitstimes.com.

China’s EAST reactor has achieved a new milestone by sustaining plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds. This achievement marks a significant step toward harnessing nuclear fusion as a limitless energy source.

France has taken a major leap forward in the race for nuclear fusion energy, achieving a new world record for plasma duration. On February 12, 2025, scientists at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) successfully sustained a plasma reaction for 1,
