According to a statement released by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), the Southwest Institute of Physics (SWIP) under CNNC has once again set a new record for fusion device operation in China. The new generation artificial sun, "China Circulating Tokamak 3 (CCT-3)" achieved a milestone of one million amperes and one hundred million degrees H-mode, with the device simultaneously achieving plasma current of one million amperes, ion temperature of one hundred million degrees, and high-confinement mode operation. The comprehensive fusion triple product reached a new record of 10^20 level, as China's fusion fast ignition experiment advances rapidly towards combustion.
