India is taking another step towards developing nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun. In this video, Firstpost explains how scientists at the Institute for Plasma Research in Gujarat are using the SST-1 tokamak to recreate the extreme conditions needed for fusion. The video examines the role of a newly installed gyrotron, which helps heat plasma to temperatures exceeding 200 million degrees Celsius, and why controlling that plasma remains a major challenge. It also looks at India’s role in the international ITER fusion project, its proposed SST-2 prototype and the potential of fusion as a future low-carbon energy source. For now, India’s artificial Sun remains a research project, not a power plant. Hem Saroya tells you more.
