去年，安徽合肥的“东方超环”团队实现了托卡马克超过60秒的稳态长脉冲高约束模放电，创造了纪录。

Last year , the EAST team in Hefei , Anhui , created a record by achieving over 60 seconds of steady-state long-pulse H-mode discharge of the device .

“东方超环”的稳态高约束运行模式的运行，为国际热核实验反应堆--一个大型国际科学合作项目--的运行提供了重要的实验支持。

EAST 's steady-state H-mode operation has provided important experimental support for the operation of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ( ITER ) , a large international scientific cooperation project .

中科院合肥物质科学研究院称，这一里程碑式事件，标志着我国的“全超导托卡马克实验装置（东方超环）”成为了世界上首个运行时间达到百秒量级的托卡马克装置。东方超环也被称作“人造太阳”。

The milestone meant China 's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak ( EAST ) , dubbed " artificial sun , " became the world 's first tokamak device to achieve the 100-second-level , Hefei Institute of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said .
