Background:

• The EAST reactor is an advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device located at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) in Hefei, China

Purpose:

• The purpose of the artificial sun is to replicate the process of nuclear fusion, which is the same reaction that powers the sun.
• This is part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) facility, which will become the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor when it becomes operational in 2035.
