Hefei Compact Fusion Energy Experimental Device Accelerates Construction
On July 27, the Compact Fusion Energy Experimental Device (BEST), located in Sanshigang Township, Luyang District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, is accelerating its construction. From aerial footage, the construction at the project site is progressing in an orderly manner, with related work continuing to unfold. The BEST device is a follow-up project to the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) and will conduct further experimental validation based on the first-generation EAST device. As a key experimental platform for future fusion energy applications, BEST is expected to become the world's first compact fusion energy experimental device, providing support for the transition of fusion energy from scientific experiments to engineering applications. ...
