The fusion research facility ITER is currently being assembled to demonstrate that fusion can be
used for industrial energy production, while several other programmes across the world are also
moving forward, such as EU-DEMO, CFETR, SPARK and STEP. The high engineering complexity
of a tokamak makes it an extremely challenging device to optimise,…
The tokamak is a world-leading concept for produc- ing sustainable energy via magnetically-confined nuclear fusion. Identifying where to position the magnets within a tokamak, specifically the poloidal field (PF) coils, is a …
