MAST Upgrade, the centre piece of the UK fusion research programme, is expected to be operational by the end of 2017. Its three primary objectives are: 1) development of novel exhaust concepts, 2) contribution to the knowledge base for ITER and 3) to examine the feasibility of the spherical tokamak as a fusion Component Test Facility.
As with most tokamaks, the design and construction of the...
China has made its fusion energy development strategies with a route from ITER over through a test reactor towards the future DEMO reactor. As one of the institute for fusion energy development in China, SWIP is focusing on investigation of plasma physics and magnetically confined nuclear fusion by operation the HL-2A Tokamak. In addition, SWIP has been being engaged in the development of...
