CFETR (China Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor)

The China Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor (CFETR) is a large-scale research facility designed to explore nuclear fusion, aiming to replicate the sun's energy process on Earth. Fusion involves merging atomic nuclei to release immense energy, offering a potential clean and virtually limitless power source. CFETR's purpose is to test and develop the technology needed for sustainable fusion reactors, paving the way for future fusion power plants that could generate electricity without greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste. It represents China's effort to advance fusion energy science and contribute to global energy innovation.
