Fusion Milestones Explored
Serious efforts in controlled nuclear fusion began in the early 1950s, with a significant breakthrough occurring in the late 1960s when researchers achieved temperatures of 10 million degrees using the tokamak concept. This milestone marked the start of rapid advancements, leading to a five-order increase in fusion performance metrics by the 1990s, bringing scientists closer to achieving scientific break-even. The journey continues as the quest for higher temperatures and better confinement persists.In this clip
