Mast Upgrade: UK experiment could sweep aside fusion hurdle
Results from a UK experiment could help clear a hurdle to achieving commercial fusion power. …
Mast Upgrade is one attempt to come up with a template for more compact, cheaper fusion reactors. It makes use of an innovative design known as a spherical tokamak to squeeze the fuel into a 4.4m-tall, 4m-wide space. By comparison, the containment vessel Iter will use to control its fusion reactions is 11.4m tall and 19.4m wide.
