ENN's "Xuanlong-50U" device achieves hydrogen-boron fusion reaction

On September 28, ENN Fusion announced that in late September, its "Xuanlong-50U" device achieved a hydrogen-boron fusion reaction. This is the first time a global commercial fusion company has achieved a hydrogen-boron fusion reaction on its own device, and also the first time a Chinese magnetic confinement fusion device has achieved a clean neutron-free fusion reaction by injecting advanced fuel. ENN Fusion stated that it will implement the commercialization of hydrogen-boron fusion through a "three-step" strategy: The first step is to achieve a hydrogen-boron fusion reaction by the end of 2026, a goal that has already been achieved ahead of schedule; the second step is to light the first hydrogen-boron fusion lamp in 2030. Construction of the next-generation spherical torus device, "Helong-2," has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of 2027; the third step is to achieve steady-state, high-power power generation before 2035 and enter the demonstration reactor stage.
