China Nuclear No.5 Corporation will undertake the construction of the world's first all-high temperature superconducting fusion experimental facility

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! On July 8, CTOnews.com, China Nuclear Corporation No. 5 and China's first commercial company focusing on fusion energy officially signed a contract for the general assembly of all-high temperature superconducting fusion equipment to build the world's first all-high temperature superconducting fusion experimental device.

CTOnews.com inquiry learned that China's first commercial company focusing on fusion energy development may be "Energy Singularity". The company has previously completed nearly 400 million yuan of Pre-A financing, including ENLIGHTENMENT, Mihayou, Yunhe Fangyuan, Blackgate Equity Fund and so on.

The official account of Nuclear No. 5 Company in the structure of magnetic confinement fusion device shows that there are generally three technical routes of controllable nuclear fusion, which are gravity field confinement fusion, laser inertial confinement fusion and magnetic confinement fusion. Among them, the all-high temperature superconducting nuclear fusion device belongs to the tokamak technical route, and all its magnet systems are built of high temperature superconducting materials to explore the compact high constraint advanced tokamak operation mode.

The official account shows that the energy singularity focuses on the high temperature superconducting tokamak technology route, and the first toroidal field coil (TF) magnet of the Hongwang 70 high temperature superconducting tokamak device has been completed recently, which further confirms the possibility of cooperation with the China Nuclear five Corporation.

It is understood that the shape of a single TF magnet is similar to the capital letter D, which is made of high temperature superconducting tape through winding, insulation, impregnation and other processes. Twelve TF magnets with the same size and parameters will together form the circumferential magnetic field of Hongwang 70 tokamak.
