Fly Inside a Fusion Reactor

Fly Inside a Fusion Reactor

IFLScience | Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have created a highly detailed 3D simulation of a fusion reactor, providing a virtual fly-through of plasma at over 100 million degrees. This model of the 30-year-old TCV tokamak uses ultra-precise scans to replicate the reactor’s interior, including wear on graphite tiles. Utilizing advanced computing and infographics technology, the simulation updates particle positions and interactions 60 times per second, offering scientists valuable insights to enhance reactor design and efficiency.
