In 2022, their ST40 device achieved record-breaking temperatures. Now, they have unveiled further upgrades to the device to further their commercial fusion vision.
Dr. Steven McNamara, Head of Plasma Systems at Tokamak Energy, and his team are set to present the results at the International Atomic Energy Agency Fusion Energy Conference in London next week.The ST40 is a high-field spherical tokamak, which can be used to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, which is the process that powers the Sun and other stars.
In a diverted configuration, the machine effectively separates the magnetically confined hot gas from the device's walls, redirecting the exhaust to a dedicated divertor region. In the divertor region, heat and foreign particles are extracted to keep the core plasma cleaner and enhance overall performance.
This is a significant achievement as it demonstrates improved stability and control of the plasma, which is crucial for fusion experiments.
