When designing a new large experimental device, extrapolation from current knowledge and rules into unexplored design space is unavoidable, and predicting the behaviour of a new device is therefore subject to significant uncertainties. This makes it difficult to determine an optimal design. For conceptual fusion power plants, a further concern is the large possible variation in expected plasma...

Extending high performance plasma discharge into long pulse steady-state operation is one of the urgent issues to be solved in preparing the ITER and fusion reactor. The KSTAR device is one of the best engineered superconducting tokamak devices which is good for exploring the science and technologies for the high performance steady-state operation due to lots of its unique features such as...

After 10 years of operation since its major modification, an upgrade of the RFX-mod experiment is presently under design. The main objectives are the improvement of the control of magnetic confinement, plasma density and plasma wall interaction in both RFP and Tokamak configuration.
The main design driver requirement for the improvement of the magnetic confinement control is the enhancement of...

The JT-60SA project implemented by Japan and Europe is progressing on schedule towards the first plasma in 2019. Spain (Ciemat) is in charge of the design and manufacturing of the cryostat.
The JT-60SA cryostat is a stainless steel vacuum vessel (14m diameter, 16m height) which encloses the tokamak providing the vacuum environment (10-3-3 Pa). It must withstand the external...
