Abstract:Chinese magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) development has made significant progresses for the past decade. With successful construction and operation of EAST superconducting tokamak, as one of valuable partner of ITER, China is playing a key role towards next step ITER. The Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor (CFETR) is the next device for the Chinese MCF program which aims to bridge the gaps between the fusion experiment ITER and the demonstration reactor DEMO. CFETR will be operated in two phases: Steady-state operation and tritium self-sustainment will be the two key issues for the first phase with a modest fusion power up to 200 MW. The second phase aims for DEMO validation with a fusion power over 1 GW. Roadmap of Chinese MCF, present of state of Cn-MCF, gaps for construction and operation of CFETR, efforts to fill these gaps and speedup the fusion energy application in China is presented in this paper.
