Chinese Scientists Produce ‘Impossible’ Steel To Line Nuclear Fusion Reactors In Major Breakthrough

Chinese Scientists Produce ‘Impossible’ Steel To Line Nuclear Fusion Reactors In Major Breakthrough CHSN01 (China high-strength low-temperature steel No 1) – credit, press handout China has forged a type of steel that can withstand the extremely low temperatures and magnetic fields needed to sustain nuclear fusion reactions. Creating such a material with steel is a feat previously thought impossible by experts working on the famous ITER project in France, of which the leader of this new steel project was a part. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project brought together experts from 35 nations to build the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor in southern France. Nuclear fusion is considered the ideal future energy source. It works by creating a thermonuclear reaction, the same process that powers our Sun, and containing it via superconducting magnets for brief periods of time to generate zero-emission energy in vast quantities. It’s one of a handful of truly era-…
