The ITER Organization recently announced the start of operations at its Magnet Cold Test Facility following the successful cooldown of the first magnet coil to 4 Kelvin (K), or minus 269 °C. The facility will allow ITER to test selected superconducting magnets at their operating temperature of 4 K and up to full current before installation in the machine. […]
Using a new approach, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany have developed a stellarator design that fulfils all the basic physics requirements for a viable fusion power plant. Inside the complex magnetic coils of a stellarator, the new design limits toroidal current in the plasma. […]
With more than $1.8 billion in blue-ribbon investor funding and successful demonstrations of the practicality of a record-powerful magnet, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a spinoff from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is trailblazing a path toward commercializing fusion energy. It plans to reach the long-coveted destination in the early 2030s. Two big steps were accomplished recently – one involves money, the other technology using high-temperature superconducting tape. […]
ITER, the world’s largest international scientific collaboration, is beginning assembly of the fusion reactor tokamak that will include 12 different essential hardware systems provided by US ITER, which is managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Separately, […]
General Atomics recently completed a major step in the development of the world’s largest pulsed superconducting magnet which will be utilized for the world’s largest fusion energy project, ITER, taking place in southern France by […]
