Attending the International Spherical Torus Workshop (ISTW) was a fantastic experience for our colleagues from the Culham office, Juan Diego Iberico Leonardo and Alexandre Sureda Croguennoc. They had the opportunity to tour Tokamak Energy’s facilities, including the record-breaking ST40 spherical tokamak, which is advancing the journey toward commercial fusion. Many thanks to UK Atomic Energy Authority for hosting this event and to Tokamak Energy for their warm welcome. It’s exciting to witness firsthand the progress being made in fusion. #NuclearEnergy #Fusion
With the International Spherical Torus Workshop being hosted by UK Atomic Energy Authority up the road from us in Oxford, it was a pleasure to welcome attendees to tour our Demo4 fusion magnet facility, ST40 control room, and of course our record breaking ST40 spherical tokamak. ST40 is the world’s highest field spherical tokamak (ST) and a globally significant device for fusion energy. Having demonstrated in 2022 that plasma ion temperatures relevant for commercial fusion can be achieved in a compact high-field ST, our work continues to build the confidence, technology and expertise necessary to make fusion energy a reality ⚡ #ISTW2024 #FusionEnergy #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyTransition #Innovation
