Estimating costs of prototype or demonstration fusion power plants is difficult enough due to the often still preliminary designs combined with a non-existing supply chain for many bespoke technologies or materials. Extrapolating to commercial fusion power plants without a clear design is even harder and uncertainties are large. As a result, foreca…
The MAST-U spherical tokamak has extensive capabilities to produce and explore strongly shaped plasmas and alternative divertor configurations, especially the Super-X. Robust and accurate reconstructions of plasma equilibria are the foundation of many physics analyses, as well as being important intershot for informing operation of the tokamak. …
