- W2914989912 abstract "Research in the 1970s and 1980s by Sykes, Peng, Jassby and others showed the theoretical advantage of the spherical tokamak (ST) shape. Experiments on START and MAST at Culham throughout the 1990s and 2000s, alongside other international STs like NSTX at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, confirmed their increased efficiency (namely operation at higher beta) and tested the plasma physics in new regimes. However, while interesting devices for study, the perceived technological difficulties due to the compact shape initially prevented STs being seriously considered as viable power plants. Then, in the 2010s, high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials became available as a reliable engineering material, fabricated into long tapes suitable for winding into magnets. Realizing the advantages of this material and its possibilities for fusion, Tokamak Energy proposed a new ST path to fusion power and began working on demonstrating the viability of HTS for fusion magnets. The company is now operating a compact tokamak with copper magnets, R 0 ∼ 0.4 m, R / a ∼ 1.8, and target I p = 2MA, B t0 = 3 T, while in parallel developing a 5 T HTS demonstrator tokamak magnet. Here we discuss why HTS can be a game-changer for tokamak fusion. We outline Tokamak Energy's solution for a faster way to fusion and discuss plans and progress, including benefits of smaller devices on the development path and advantages of modularity in power plants. We will indicate some of the key research areas in compact tokamaks and introduce the physics considerations behind the ST approach, to be further developed in the subsequent paper by Alan Costley. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Fusion energy using tokamaks: can development be accelerated?’." @default.
