"聚变之路"既是一条科学探索之路，也是一条人类追求清洁能源的共同奋斗之路 2026年1月，《中华人民共和国原子能法》将施行，明确国家鼓励和支持受控热核聚变的科学研究和技 术开发，规定相关安全监督管理措施，既防范风险，又激发活力，以制度之力为聚变能研究创新划定边 界、提供保障。 前不久，中国科学院"燃烧等离子体"国际科学计划项目正式启动，面向全球开放多个聚变能实验装置及 平台，旨在聚力点燃"人造太阳"，携手探索用聚变能照亮人类清洁能源的未来。 "十五五"规划建议提出，"推动量子科技、生物制造、氢能和核聚变能、脑机接口、具身智能、第六代 移动通信等成为新的经济增长点。"当今世界，清洁能源角色正逐渐从补充转向主力，从风光水储到氢 能、核能，清洁能源版图不断扩展，聚变能正是其中最具革命性的一块。与裂变能相比，聚变能能量密 度大、原料资源丰富、放射性污染低、固有安全好；与其他清洁能源相比，聚变能几乎不受地理与气候 限制，能实现连续运行、稳定输出，是未来清洁能源的重要发展方向之一。 科技进步是世界性、时代性课题，唯有开放合作才是正道。聚变能研究投入大、周期长，任何国家都无 法独立完成。"聚变之路"既是一条科学探索之路，也 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes China's significant role in the international collaboration for the commercialization of fusion energy, highlighting its advancements in fusion technology and partnerships with over 140 research institutions across more than 50 countries [2][3]. Group 1: Fusion Energy Development - Fusion energy is recognized as a crucial direction for clean energy development due to its high energy density, abundant raw materials, low radioactive pollution, and inherent safety [3]. - China has established a "three-step" strategy for nuclear energy development since the 1980s, which includes the construction of major scientific facilities like the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor [4]. Group 2: Technological Advancements - The Eastern Super Ring achieved a world record with a plasma steady-state operation at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds, while the China Circulation No. 3 reached a dual temperature of 160 million degrees Celsius [4]. - Ongoing projects include the development of smaller fusion experimental devices and key systems for fusion reactors, such as the "Kua Fu" facility and the compact fusion energy experimental device BEST [4]. Group 3: International Collaboration - The establishment of the IAEA's first "Fusion Energy Research and Training Collaboration Center" in Chengdu signifies China's growing international influence in fusion energy [2]. - The World Fusion Energy Group, initiated by the IAEA, aims to enhance international consensus and accelerate the engineering demonstration and commercial application of fusion energy [6]. Group 4: Challenges and Opportunities - Despite the advancements, challenges remain in achieving plasma steady-state combustion, developing high-temperature materials, and ensuring the economic viability of fusion energy [5]. - China aims to foster global cooperation in addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable energy development [6].
