Milestone for China's HL-3 device

The team operating the HL-3 tokamak reports operating for the first time in high-confinement mode (H-mode) with a plasma current of one million amperes.

High-confinement mode, or H-mode, is an advanced mode of operation in magnetic confinement fusion devices that can improve the efficiency of a fusion reactor. China's HL-3 device recently achieved H-mode operation with a current of one million amperes. (Click to view larger version...)
High-confinement mode, or H-mode, is an advanced mode of operation in magnetic confinement fusion devices that can improve the efficiency of a fusion reactor. China's HL-3 device recently achieved H-mode operation with a current of one million amperes.
HL-3 is a research device located at the Center of Fusion Science/Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, China. Its construction was a decade-long project that cumulated with the completion of first plasma in December 2020. (The device used to be referred to as HL-2M.) Two years later, in October, the device achieved operation with a plasma current of one million amperes. Last month, the device achieved repeatable 1 MA/H-mode operation.

"This [latest milestone] once again broke the operation record of China's nuclear fusion devices with magnetic confinement, overcoming many technical challenges. This milestone holds great importance in China's nuclear fusion energy development, signifying a crucial step forward in the research of high-performance nuclear fusion plasma operation," said the press release released by the China National Nuclear Corporation, CNNC.

The success of operation in H-mode is the result of upgrades to the device's heating, operation and control, diagnostic, and power supply system. The next goal for HL-3 is to increase the fusion triple product鈥攁 plasma's particle density, energy confinement time, and ion temperature鈥攖o attain the kind of high plasma performance that is needed to study frontier fusion plasma physics.
