Abstract:An economical and practical commercial reactor must be high efficient, compact and steady-state in operation. Future commercial reactor must be fully superconducting device which can be operated steadily. Superconducting Tokamak research in China started in 1991 by the modification of a formal Russian Tokamak T-7 to HT-7. Significant progresses have been obtained over the past 10 years. EAST project, a fully superconducting Tokamak, started in 1997 and finished its construction and was put into operation in 2006. In the future, high parameter plasma physical experiments will be conducted under the condition of long impulse, so as to establish a solid engineering and physical basis for future steady-state and advanced fusion experimental reactor.
