The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (east) fusion device, nicknamed "Artificial Sun", was tested at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Hefei, capital city of East China's Anhui province.
East is an upgrade of China's first-generation Tokamak device and the first of its kind in operation in the world, Chinese scientists said.
Please note the word fusion and not fission. This is a big deal, if it is accurate and can be reproduced.
