Jun 1, 2023 · ST40 is a spherical tokamak device that achieved 100 million degrees Celsius ion temperature, a milestone for nuclear fusion energy. Learn how it works, what challenges it faces, and why it is a promising option for fusion power plants.
Oct 11, 2023 · 11 October 2023. in Press release. Tokamak Energy’s record-breaking fusion machine has broken new ground following a series of upgrades. The company’s ST40 reached a plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius last year, the threshold required for commercial fusion energy and the highest ever achieved in a privately funded spherical tokamak.
Design of the ST40 spherical tokamak with a major radius of 0.4 m. Tokamak reactors consist of a toroidal vacuum tube surrounded by a series of magnets. One set of magnets is logically wired in a series of rings around the outside of the tube, but are physically connected through a common conductor in the center.
