The JET fusion reactor set a world record for energy production, but will never start again
The European thermonuclear reactor Joint European Torus (JET) in Oxford, UK, has set a new world record for the amount of energy generated in a single fusion reaction cycle. The installation operated for a record 6 seconds and produced 69,26 megajoules of thermal energy during this time. The new experiment was further proof that the ITER project will be successful, since the JET tokamak is its scaled-down […]
