India Unveils Its First Privately Developed Prototype fusion Reactor
Fusion reactor model
Pranos Fusion’s «Pragya» tokamak is an experimental platform designed to study and control plasma, the superheated matter essential for achieving fusion energy.It will run about 3,000 experiments annually for up to 20 years, generating critical data on plasma behavior and control systemsThe reactor tests key technologies like high-temperature superconducting magnets and diagnostic tools for future fusion machinesPragya also serves as a training ground for India’s next generation of plasma physicists and fusion engineersPranos aims to build a net-gain fusion reactor called PraniQ by 2030This adds a private-sector dimension to India’s fusion research, traditionally led by government institutions and international projects like ITER.
