Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) requires high-field magnet designs and has therefore adopted REBCO-based high temperature superconductor (HTS). HTS enables the Toroidal Field (TF) coils to be re-mountable, which unlocks STEP’s vertical maintenance approach, however, re-mountable joints, approximately 18 GJ of stored energy, and lim…

The UKAEA’s Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) program aims to demonstrate the ability of a low aspect ratio tokamak to generate net electricity from deuterium-tritium fusion. Specifically, its aim is to deliver a prototype fusion power plant, targeting 2040, and a path to the commercial viability of fusion, by engaging with and invig…
