China to launch artificial sun in 2027: the world's first nuclear fusion energy

In 2027, China plans to complete the construction of the nuclear fusion reactor BEST (Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak), better known as 'artificial sun'. This project will be the first in the world capable of generating electricity through nuclear fusion. A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, announced this event on social media.This significant achievement will mark an important step in the race for the commercial use of nuclear energy, which has the potential to become a clean and limitless source of electricity. Previously, China had a similar reactor EAST, also nicknamed 'artificial sun', which was capable of maintaining plasma for a substantial amount of time. The launch of the BEST project in 2027 is an important step in the development of alternative energy sources.
