advanced tokamak

An advanced tokamak is a sophisticated magnetic confinement device designed to efficiently contain hot plasma for nuclear fusion. It uses strong magnetic fields to shape and stabilize the plasma, aiming to sustain fusion reactions longer and more reliably than earlier designs. Advanced tokamaks incorporate innovative features, such as improved control of plasma stability, current drive, and heat management, to achieve higher performance, energy gain, and potential for practical power generation. They represent a significant step toward making fusion a viable, clean energy source by addressing challenges related to maintaining stable, sustained fusion reactions.
