Spherical tokamak as model for next steps in fusion energy

Spherical tokamak as model for next steps in fusion energy Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Aug 25, 2016 - Among the top puzzles in the development of fusion energy is the best shape for the magnetic facility - or "bottle" - that will provide the next steps in the development of fusion reactors. Leading candidates include spherical tokamaks, compact machines that are shaped like cored apples, compared with the doughnut-like shape of conventional tokamaks. The spherical design produces high-pressure p ... more
