Thailand has officially turned on its first Tokamak reactor in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Plasma Physics.
The reactor is an upgraded version of China's agingdeveloped by the Institute of Plasma Physics in 1984. Officially decommissioned in 2002, after 18 years of operation, the institute donated the reactor to Thailand under an agreement signed in 2017. The Chinese institute has agreed to assist Thailand in setting up and managing a fusion energy research and development facility. Additionally, they will provide support in fostering talent in this field.
“After signing the agreement with Thailand, the Institute of Plasma Physics has fully upgraded the HT-6M device and its subsystems, which has substantially improved its performance,”. In December 2022, the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology received the tokamak device after it passed a completion inspection.
“The whole facility is composed of 462 major parts, weighing over 84 tonnes . They will be shipped to Thailand in six containers,” said Huang Yiyun, a key project member to the state news agency, roughly 60 technicians from China were dispatched to Thailand to assist with the assembly, adjustment, and testing of a machine before its official launch. Additionally, nine Thai scientists had previously traveled to Hefei for a three-month training program that taught them how to operate the Tokamak.
