The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) is a superconducting tokamak, which successfully achieved the first plasma discharge in 2006. The major radius of EAST plasma is 1.9m, and its central magnet field is 3.5T. In the past few years, EAST has made many achievements such as 60s double-null divertor configuration plasma and 1MA plasma. In 2016, 102 second long-pulse discharge...
US ITER continues to make strong progress in its contributions to the ITER project, with ~25% (as of Feb. 2017) of First Plasma deliveries completed. In 2017, the US completed its toroidal field coil conductor contributions and will also complete delivery of steady state electrical system hardware. The central solenoid modules are now in fabrication at General Atomics in Poway, California,...
The efforts towards the realization of a fusion relevant neutron source facility for fusion materials testing is four decades old. Fusion and fission materials research have always presented synergies, but whereas experimental fission reactors were available since the 60s supporting the development of commercial fission reactors, there is no available facility providing the 14.1 MeV...
