Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is a spherical tokamak fusion plant concept proposed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and funded by the UK government. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The project is a proposed DEMO -class successor device to the ITER tokamak proof-of-concept of a fusion plant, the most advanced tokamak ...
Tokamak Energy is a fusion power company based near Oxford in the United Kingdom, [1] established in 2009. [2] The company is pursuing the global deployment of commercial fusion energy in the 2030s through the combined development of spherical tokamaks with high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets. It is also developing HTS magnet ...
A spherical tokamak is a type of fusion power device based on the tokamak principle. It is notable for its very narrow profile, or aspect ratio. A traditional tokamak has a toroidal confinement area that gives it an overall shape similar to a donut, complete with a large hole in the middle. The spherical tokamak reduces the size of the hole as ...
The JET tokamak in England and the laser fusion experiment on Dec. 5, 2022, at the National Ignition Facility at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have yielded ...
