>A good fusion reactor actually can't explode
While that is interesting, it's not particularly relevant. We're not talking about a good fusion reactor, we're talking about a Chinese fusion reactor.

Haha that is true, but still sustained fusion mostly cannot exist without a vacuum. Now, we do have hydrogen bombs so if they really, really fucked it up it would probably be close to a hydrogen bomb detonation which are temporary fusion reactions.
But still, Chinese science is based on stealing from the west, and literally every fusion reactor design that's ever come out in recent times has the capacity to keep the reaction inside.
Then again we have Chernobyl to prove how shitty reactor 'designs' can get, but it's not like the CCP is as cash-strapped as the soviets in the 80s.

So if they were to cut corners I think they would remove safety measures in a desperate attempt to keep hitting new #1s, but still it's hard to believe they would be THAT dumb.

Their goal is to recreate the conditions the big bang, attempt to estimate how hot the temperature of our universe was 14 billion years ago

You can literally model that mathematically using universal background radiation, making a hot thing in a tube would be a huge waste especially if you are trying to do literal fusion.

What do you suppose a better use for making something so hot would be?
