The ST40 High Field Spherical Tokamak: Design and Preliminary Results
Description
ST40 is a high field spherical tokamak (ST) design, built and operated by Tokamak Energy Ltd, a private company based in Oxfordshire, UK. The mission of ST40 is to extend the high field ST physics basis to reduce the uncertainties associated with predicting the performance of future ST pilot plants. ST40 Programme 2.2 plasma operations began in April 2021 and are schedule to run until early 2022. To support Programme 2.2 operations extensive modelling activities have been undertaken, an overview of which is provided here. (author)
