The UK's newest fusion reactor, ST40, was switched on last week, and has already managed to achieve 'first plasma' - successfully generating a scorching blob of electrically-charged gas (or plasma) within its core.
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. For this reactor, that's the 'fusion' threshold, at which hydrogen atoms can begin to fuse into helium, unleashing near-limitless, clean energy in the process.
т.е порог как я понял для этого типа реакторов в 100 млн. градусов они собираются достигнуть в 2018.
Понятно, он не единственный, но: "Today is an important day for fusion energy development in the UK, and the world," said David Kingham, CEO of Tokamak Energy, the company behind ST40.
"We are unveiling the first world-class controlled fusion device to have been designed, built and operated by a private venture. The ST40 is a machine that will show fusion temperatures - 100 million degrees - are possible in compact, cost-effective reactors. This will allow fusion power to be achieved in years, not decades."
Ну, такие прожекты я еще в 1965-м видел в журнале "Юный Техник". "Скоро Будет" - лозунг советской промышленности. Я обеими руками за, но пока что чота вот нету.

Но это пока то же самое, что было в Германии. Еще только прогрели, а не запустили.
