Summary
The Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) of the cole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne (EPEL) and Deep Mind together studied the nuances of controlling plasma behavior using a reinforced learning (RL) system inside a tokamak, to determine whether How to control and direct the plasma inside the reactor with a magnetic coil.

Expansion
Scientists have been trying to control the volatile and hot plasma in the reactor for decades, but each time new challenges are encountered. This is one of the biggest obstacles in providing unlimited energy to the world from NFR. However, now a way has been found to solve this problem. However, it can be claimed to be helpful in making a practical NFR only after being tested on several parameters.
Success in keeping two plasma together
The RLZ system controlled the Variable Configuration Tokamak (TCV) of the SPC to sculpt the plasma in the reactor into multiple shapes, allowing the two plasmas to coexist in a way that had never happened before. In addition to traditional shapes, AI also molds plasma into advanced configurations. That includes negative triangulation and snowflake-like shapes. If fusion reactions are made sustainable and feasible, each of these forms holds a variety of potentials for future energy production. It will further be used in the world’s largest NFR International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) being built in France.

Deterioration of coordination can cause explosions
In fact, the magnetic field is the only way to keep the plasma stable at a temperature of millions of degrees Celsius. Maintaining this requires complex, multi-layered systems to manage the coils. This is a very complex work and till now many people had to be involved in it, obviously, here even microseconds can cause a terrible explosion as soon as the coordination is disturbed, the amount of devastation it will cause cannot even be estimated.
