China’s "artificial sun", the HL-2M tokamak, has set a new operation record with its plasma current exceeding 1 million amperes (one megampere) “marking a major step toward fusion ignition”, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) has announced. The tokamak, independently designed and built by CNNC’s Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was completed in November 2019 and achieved its first plasma discharge in December 2020.
