China Touts Fusion Progress As New Details On Lockheed Martin's Reactor Emerge

China, which is reportedly hard at work on a host of advanced technologies for both military and civilian applications, has given foreign journalists a close look at its potentially revolutionary fusion energy project, which they claim has produced the longest man-made nuclear reaction of this type ever. The tour came as additional details have come to light regarding another advanced fusion reactor program at Lockheed Martin, which recently obtained a patent for portions of its own design.

Earlier in April 2018, the BBC got an inside look at the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, or EAST, which sits within the Dongpu Science Island, a large research campus that is situated on lakeshore peninsula in China’s Anhui Province. The Hefei Institutes of Physical Science is directly responsible for the project, working under the direction of the government-run Chinese Academy of Sciences.

We have been getting out more energy than put in to the reaction for several years now. We have had a good run on containement tech and had some that worked on small scale. Now all there is in the US between us and using this tech for energy use is scale. Putting us significantly ahead of china. This all good news. This tech could make the middle east irrelevant.
