Nuclear fusion energy is an ideal energy source for the future due to the clean and efficient features, first proposed by Russian scientists in the 1950s. With the successful construction and operation of a batch of tokamak devices globally, a series of major achievements have been realized in magnetic confinement fusion (MF). On this basis, the recent progress and current status of tokamak devices are systematically reviewed from academic literatures and official websites. To better demonstrate, the principle of MF and the history of a tokamak are introduced firstly. Subsequently, developments of four typical state-of-art tokamak facilities (JT60, FTFR, JET, EAST) are discussed detailly. These results offer a guideline for tokamak device construction and MCF realization.

This paper traces the development of nuclear fusion research and describes the basic principles involved. The most advanced device used to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion is the magnetic confinement approach, utilizing the tokamak concept. The Joint European Torus (JET) is the largest tokamak in operation. The operating conditions are described and critical issues outlined. With concerted effort and international collaboration the possibility exists to produce a demonstration reactor.
