World’s first nuclear fusion coil test brings Japan closer to infinite clean energy
SMRTR summary
Japanese startup Helical Fusion successfully completed the world's first large-scale test of a high-temperature superconducting coil designed for commercial nuclear fusion reactors. The breakthrough demonstrated stable current flow under conditions that replicate the magnetic environment inside a fusion device, positioning Japan as a frontrunner in the global race for commercial fusion power. The company plans to build its first commercial fusion plant by the 2030s using innovative helical stellarator technology that enables continuous plasma confinement.
