While other countries especially SouthKorea have began using plasma reaction for a sustained energy source, Britainīs created "'first plasma' - successfully generating a scorching blob of electrically-charged gas (or plasma) within its core."
The UK just switched on an ambitious fusion reactor - and it works - ScienceAlert
Quote:
The aim is for the tokamak reactor to heat plasma up to 100 million degrees Celsius (180 million degrees Fahrenheit) by 2018 - seven times hotter than the centre of the Sun.
and the ultimate goal is to provide clean fusion power to the UK grid by 2030.
