France, nuclear fusion and Tokamak reactor

France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes
France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.
France fusion reactor breaks record for plasma duration
ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a multinational fusion project in France aiming to prove that nuclear fusion can be a viable large-scale energy source. As the world’s largest fusion experiment, ITER is designed to confine and sustain superheated plasma, a critical step toward practical fusion power.
France sets new nuclear fusion record, surpassing China’s achievement
A nuclear fusion reactor in France has broken a record previously held by China, sustaining a stable plasma loop for over 22 minutes.
Nuclear fusion: WEST machine beats the world record for plasma duration
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,
France sets fusion record with 22-minute plasma stability, beats China’s nuclear run
Nuclear fusion aims to control inherently unstable plasma, offering a highly efficient energy source with minimal fuel use and no long-lived radioact
