The progress and current status of Tokamak: a systematic review

Nuclear fusion energy is an ideal source for the future due to clean and efficient features, first proposed by Russian scientists in 1950s. With successful construction operation of a batch tokamak devices globally, series major achievements have been realized magnetic confinement (MF). On this basis, recent progress current status are systematically reviewed from academic literatures official websites. To better demonstrate, principle MF history introduced firstly. Subsequently, developments four typical state-of-art facilities (JT60, FTFR, JET, EAST) discussed detailly. These results offer guideline device MCF realization.
