France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.

    Well, I’m still skeptical, but I have far more trust in France’s reporting than Chinese claims.

            America doesn’t have a government. It’s a continent. Are you possibly referring to the USA?

              In North America they teach that North America and South America are 2 separate continents.

              When someone refers to “America” in the contexts of countries they 9 times out of 10 mean the US. Since people from there usually call themselves “Americans” rather than “United statians”

            Oh, good old ITER. There where news from records from China, anyone know if this is related to ITER-project somehow and is it multinational project?

            edit. probably this: https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/nuclear-energy/chinas-artificial-sun-shatters-nuclear-fusion-record-by-generating-steady-loop-of-plasma-for-1-000-seconds

            Yup it is related to ITER -project, so this is a nice thing going on in international scene apparently

            SUM: it is so
