A powerful fusion reactor built by Chinese scientists is at the centre of a critical mission for the country to create a limitless, clean energy source.

This handout picture released by Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Plasma Physics, shows a vacuum vessel inside the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak device at a laboratory in Hefei, east China's Anhui province.Fusion energy has yet to achieve the milestone of actually generating more energy than is required to get the process going but holds the immense potential of curing humanity’s energy woes forever.

Funded and run by the European Union, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and the United States, the multi-billion-dollar project’s centrepiece will be a giant cylindrical fusion device, called a tokamak., it will incorporate parts developed at the EAST and other sites, and draw on their research findings.Fusion is considered the Holy Grail of energy and is what powers our sun.

But sustaining the high temperatures and other unstable conditions necessary is both extremely difficult and prohibitively expensive -- the total cost of ITER is estimated at 20 billion euros . But the Anhui test reactor underlines China’s fast-improving scientific advancement and its commitment to achieve yet more.
