Controlled nuclear fusion refers to the technology of controlling the reaction process of nuclear fusion, so as to realize safe and sustainable energy supply.

Controlled nuclear fusion is also called artificial sun, because the sun shines and heats up through nuclear fusion, providing energy for the earth. Controlled nuclear fusion, as its name implies, refers to the nuclear fusion process that can be realized under controlled conditions, so as to realize safe and sustainable energy supply. It draws lessons from the nuclear fusion principle of the sun and other stars, and converts light elements such as deuterium and tritium into helium at high temperature and high density, and releases huge energy.

It is difficult for human beings to get energy directly from the sun, so they have to settle for the second best and build a small sun by themselves. This little sun is controlled nuclear fusion. The research of controlled nuclear fusion began in 1950s, and after decades of development, it gradually made a breakthrough.

Significance of controlled nuclear fusion

If the controlled nuclear fusion project is successful, then mankind can gradually get rid of dependence on fossil fuels and enter a new energy era, and global carbon emissions and global resource crisis can be solved.

If controlled nuclear fusion succeeds, then mankind can gradually get rid of the dependence on the earth's fossil fuels. Controlled nuclear fusion uses nuclear reactions to obtain energy. Compared with nuclear fission reaction, it needs highly radioactive uranium as nuclear fuel and nuclear fusion reaction needs light elements as fuel. In the ocean, there are inexhaustible nuclear fusion fuels.

The popularization of controlled nuclear fusion can not only get rid of the dependence on fossil fuels and protect the earth's environment, but also help mankind solve the energy problem in the next few centuries.
