In 1992, Russian scientists from the Kurchatov Institute participated in the installation of a Tokamak-7 fusion research reactor (originally designed at Kurchatov) at the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hefei.[1,2] Because reactors of this type are not fueled by fissionable material, they are not regarded as sources of proliferation concern.
