Do people know what TOKAMAK is? I mean how it translates.
тороидальная камера с магнитными катушками
A Russian acronym.
Quote from wiki:
"In 1968, at the third IAEA International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research at Novosibirsk, Soviet scientists announced that they had achieved electron temperatures of over 1000 eV in a tokamak device. This stunned British and American scientists, who were far away from reaching that benchmark. They remained suspicious until tests were done with laser scattering a few years later, confirming the original temperature measurements."
Nothing else to add actually. Russians invented it, way before western scientists by the way.
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.
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.
Plasma is highly ionized atoms. This results in extremely energetic ions, and these ions carry an electrostatic charge. The tokamak is a container with magnetic fields for boundaries. The plasma is a moving group of electrostatic charges, and moving charges create magnetic fields. The magnetic field thus created interacts with the magnetic field set up in the tokamak to deflect and thus confine the charged plasma.
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)
Yes, China has an artificial sun called the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The implications of this technological advancement include potential advancements in clean energy production, nuclear fusion research, and the possibility of solving global energy challenges in the future.

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.
A tokamak is a type of magnetic confinement device used to create controlled nuclear fusion reactions. It uses magnetic fields to confine a hot plasma of hydrogen isotopes, forcing them to collide and fuse together, releasing energy in the process. The goal is to achieve sustained fusion reactions that could potentially provide a clean and abundant source of energy in the future.
