Japan has announced the Fusion by Advanced Superconducting Tokamak project.

The project aims to achieve the demonstration of fusion energy power generation by the 2030s .

A tokamak is a reactor structure involving magnetic coils to generate a twisted magnetic field that traps plasma and forces it to fuse.

Commercial power plants fueled by fusion could still be more than a decade to decades away.
