TL;DR Summary

Japan's JT-60SA tokamak has achieved "first plasma," marking a significant milestone in the development of nuclear fusion reactors. The tokamak, a donut-shaped device, successfully created and contained a super-hot plasma, bringing us closer to harnessing the immense energy released by fusion. The JT-60SA is currently the largest tokamak to reach this stage, but it will soon be surpassed by ITER, a larger tokamak under construction. The hope is that ITER will demonstrate the feasibility of commercial fusion power, paving the way for a future of limitless clean energy.
