HT-7, orHefei Tokamak-7, is an experimentalsuperconductingtokamaknuclear fusion reactor built inHefei,China, to investigate the process of developingfusion power. The HT-7 was developed with the assistance of Russia, and was based on the earlierT-7 tokamak reactor. The reactor was built by the Hefei-basedInstitute of Plasma Physics under the direction of theChinese Academy of Sciences.
The HT-7 construction was completed in May 1994, with final tests accomplished by December of the same year allowing experiments to proceed.
The HT-7 has been superseded by theExperimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) built in Hefei by the Institute of Plasma Physics as an experimental reactor beforeITER is completed.
