It is hoped that building increased size and improved more efficient tokamaks will obtain fusion lasting for a longer time (so far less than 1 second has been achieved). The ITER apparatus is the next stage, but it will still only be an experiment with no way of harnessing the energy produced. That will be yet another stage, but I think there is little certainty yet that it will turn out to be successful, and it will certainly take many years of work before we can get energy from controlled fusion.

What do scientist hope to achieve with the research on the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
Scientists hope to achieve a sustainable and controllable fusion reaction that can generate abundant clean energy. The research on Tokamak Fusion Reactors aims to overcome the technical challenges of achieving self-sustaining fusion reactions and commercialize fusion power as a viable alternative energy source. Success in this research could help address global energy needs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
How is heat contained within a tokamak reactor?
A Tokamak reactor uses strong magnetic fields to contain the fusion reaction. While significant progress has been made in the field of fusion, temperatures high enough for continuous fusion have not been sustained for long periods of time. (Chemistry: Matter and Change; book)
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What is the role of tokamak machine in plasma physics?
A tokamak is a device used to confine high-temperature plasma for the purpose of studying nuclear fusion. It creates a magnetic field that confines the plasma in a toroidal shape, allowing for controlled fusion reactions to occur. Tokamaks are essential in advancing our understanding of plasma physics and developing fusion energy as a sustainable power source.
Why is it difficult to develop a fusion reactor for power generation?
Developing a fusion reactor for power generation is challenging due to the need to confine and control the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for nuclear fusion to occur. Additionally, managing the plasma within the reactor, handling the intense neutron radiation, and finding suitable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions present further obstacles. Research is ongoing to overcome these challenges and make fusion power a viable energy source.

What is the toroidal chamber used to produce fusion reactions in heated plasma?
tokamak
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
What is a sentence using the word research?
(noun) It will take many more years of research to create a fusion reactor. (verb) He went to the newspaper office to research the story further.
Which one of the following countries has currently largest tokamak type reactor and created first plasma?
You don't give the list of 'following countries' ! However I believe the largest or most powerful tokamak so far is the JET at Culham in England. See link below. The new one in S Korea looks perhaps to surpass that but it has not yet been fully operated. The tokamak originated in Russia, it was a brilliant development which took western science by surprise, but is now pretty universal in fusion research. The other possible lead is by laser ignition which is being promoted in a few places, but is very difficult to set up accurately. There is a Wikipedia article on 'tokamak' which gives a long list of facilities in many countries.
What limits scientists from downsizing the tokamak reactor?
Scientists are limited in downsizing tokamak reactors due to the need for a certain magnetic field strength to confine the plasma, control instabilities, and sustain fusion reactions. Additionally, scaling down the size of the reactor can lead to challenges in maintaining high plasma temperatures and controlling heat and particle loads on the materials. Researchers are actively exploring new designs and technologies to overcome these limitations for potential future reactors.
What would be the source of fuel required by a fusion reactor?
Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
