US Builds Virtual Replica of Nuclear Fusion Reactor

The digital twin is designed to accelerate the development of future energy sources.

The US Department of Energy has created a virtual replica of a nuclear fusion reactor, a significant step in the development of commercial fusion power. The digital twin is designed to simulate the behavior of the reactor and its components, allowing researchers to test and refine their designs without the need for physical prototypes. The project aims to accelerate the development of fusion energy, which has the potential to provide a nearly limitless and clean source of power.
