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.

    This could be the real start to fusion power becoming reality. They keep breaking records at an increasingly faster and larger pace.

        It would be nice if we as a species could focus on shit like this instead of fighting each other.

          Why not both? Think of it! Fusion weapons!

            We already have those. Hydrogen Bombs. A fission explosion creates such pressure to cause hydrogen atoms to fuse.

    Well, if one country needs fusion reactors soon, it’s France. Would be funny if they replaced their ancient fleet of NPP with FPP.
