Fusion reactors require real-time plasma control at millisecond timescales. Achieving net-positive energy requires precise feedback.
Control System
```python class PlasmaController: def init(self): self.target_temp = 150_000_000 # 150 million Kelvin self.magnetic_field = 5.3 # Tesla
def control_loop(self, dt=0.001): # 1ms timestep
while self.is_running:
plasma_state = self.measure_plasma()
if plasma_state.temp < self.target_temp:
self.increase_heating()
if self.detect_instability(plasma_state):
self.emergency_shutdown()
self.adjust_magnetic_field(plasma_state)
time.sleep(dt)
