The first thermonuclear plasma has been achieved at the T-15MD tokamak, at Russia’s Kurchatov Institute and the facility is operating steadily, according to Kurchative Institute President Mikhail Kovalchuk. The physical launch of the T-15MD tokamak took place in May 2021. "The stable plasma, at millions of degrees Celsius, has been obtained.… This most complicated and expensive installation started up immediately and is now working, gaining power and reaching global parameters,” he said.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on 18 May took part in the launch ceremony of the T-15MD tokamak installation at the National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute. The Tokamak T-15MD (toroidal chamber with magnetic coils) is a modified version of the T-15 reactor, which has been operating at the Kurchatov Institute since the late 1980s, and the first new thermonuclear installation built in Russia in the last 20 years. Its uniqueness lies in its combination of high power and compact dimensions made possible as a result of a number of new technologies developed by the Kurchatov Institute.
