Devices like the <a href="/wiki/Z-pinch" title="Z-pinch">z-pinch</a> and <a href="/wiki/Stellarator" title="Stellarator">stellarator</a> had attempted this, but demonstrated serious instabilities. It was the development of the concept now known as the <a href="/wiki/Safety_factor_(plasma_physics)" title="Safety factor (plasma physics)">safety factor</a> (labelled q in mathematical notation) that guided tokamak development; by arranging the reactor so this critical factor q was always greater than 1, the tokamaks strongly suppressed the instabilities which plagued earlier designs. By the mid-1970s, dozens of tokamaks were in use around the world. By the late 1970s, these machines had reached all of the conditions needed for practical <a href="/wiki/Fusion_power" title="Fusion power">fusion</a>, although not at the same time nor in a single <a href="/wiki/Reactor_pressure_vessel" title="Reactor pressure vessel">reactor</a>. With the goal of breakeven (a <a href="/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor" title="Fusion energy gain factor">fusion energy gain factor</a> equal to 1) now in sight, a new series of machines were designed that would run on a fusion fuel of <a href="/wiki/Deuterium" title="Deuterium">deuterium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tritium" title="Tritium">tritium</a>.

Instead, these machines demonstrated new problems that limited their performance. Solving these would require a much larger and more expensive machine, beyond the abilities of any one country.

The combined fields of the magnets create a set of parallel magnetic lines running down the length of the cylinder. This arrangement prevents the particles from moving sideways to the wall of the cylinder, but it does not prevent them from running out the end. The obvious solution to this problem is to bend the cylinder around into a donut shape, or torus, so that the lines form a series of continual rings. In this arrangement, the particles circle endlessly.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001838-29">[27]</a> Sakharov discussed the concept with <a href="/wiki/Igor_Tamm" title="Igor Tamm">Igor Tamm</a>, and by the end of October 1950 the two had written a proposal and sent it to <a href="/wiki/Igor_Kurchatov" title="Igor Kurchatov">Igor Kurchatov</a>, the director of the atomic bomb project within the USSR, and his deputy, <a href="/wiki/Igor_Golovin" title="Igor Golovin">Igor Golovin</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001838-29">[27]</a> However, this initial proposal ignored a fundamental problem; when arranged along a straight solenoid, the external magnets are evenly spaced, but when bent around into a torus, they are closer together on the inside of the ring than the outside. This leads to uneven forces that cause the particles to drift away from their magnetic lines.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001839-30">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198216-31">[29]</a> During visits to the <a href="/wiki/Laboratory_of_Measuring_Instruments_of_the_USSR_Academy_of_Sciences" class="mw-redirect" title="Laboratory of Measuring Instruments of the USSR Academy of Sciences">Laboratory of Measuring Instruments of the USSR Academy of Sciences</a> (LIPAN), the Soviet <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_physics" title="Nuclear physics">nuclear research</a> centre, Sakharov suggested two possible solutions to this problem. One was to suspend a current-carrying ring in the centre of the torus. The current in the ring would produce a magnetic field that would mix with the one from the magnets on the outside. The resulting field would be twisted into a helix, so that any given particle would find itself repeatedly on the outside, then inside, of the torus. The drifts caused by the uneven fields are in opposite directions on the inside and outside, so over the course of multiple <a href="/wiki/Orbit" title="Orbit">orbits</a> around the long axis of the <a href="/wiki/Torus" title="Torus">torus</a>, the opposite drifts would cancel out.

The proposal suggested the system could produce 100 grams (3.5 oz) of <a href="/wiki/Tritium" title="Tritium">tritium</a> a day, or breed 10 kilograms (22 lb) of U233 a day.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001839-30">[28]</a> As the idea was further developed, it was realized that a current in the plasma could create a field that was strong enough to confine the plasma as well, removing the need for the external coils.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001840-37">[35]</a> At this point, the Soviet researchers had re-invented the pinch system being developed in the UK,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198218-21">[20]</a> although they had come to this design from a very different starting point. Once the idea of using the pinch effect for confinement had been proposed, a much simpler solution became evident. Instead of a large toroid, one could simply induce the current into a linear tube, which could cause the plasma within to collapse down into a filament. This had a huge advantage; the current in the plasma would heat it through normal <a href="/wiki/Resistive_heating" class="mw-redirect" title="Resistive heating">resistive heating</a>, but this would not heat the plasma to fusion temperatures. However, as the plasma collapsed, the <a href="/wiki/Adiabatic_process" title="Adiabatic process">adiabatic process</a> would result in the temperature rising dramatically, more than enough for fusion.

But the great secrecy surrounding the type of research meant that none of the groups were aware that others were also working on it, let alone having the identical problem.<a href="#cite_note-master-38">[36]</a> After much study, it was found that some of the released neutrons were produced by instabilities in the plasma. There were two common types of instability, the sausage that was seen primarily in linear machines, and the kink which was most common in the toroidal machines.<a href="#cite_note-master-38">[36]</a> Groups in all three countries began studying the formation of these instabilities and potential ways to address them.<a href="#cite_note-criterion-39">[37]</a> Important contributions to the field were made by <a href="/wiki/Martin_David_Kruskal" title="Martin David Kruskal">Martin David Kruskal</a> and <a href="/wiki/Martin_Schwarzschild" title="Martin Schwarzschild">Martin Schwarzschild</a> in the US, and Shafranov in the USSR.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKadomtsev1966-40">[38]</a> One idea that came from these studies became known as the "stabilized pinch". This concept added additional coils to the outside of the chamber, which created a magnetic field that would be present in the plasma before the pinch discharge. In most concepts, the externally induced field was relatively weak, and because a plasma is <a href="/wiki/Diamagnetic" class="mw-redirect" title="Diamagnetic">diamagnetic</a>, it penetrated only the outer areas of the plasma.<a href="#cite_note-master-38">[36]</a> When the pinch discharge occurred and the plasma quickly contracted, this field became "frozen in" to the resulting filament, creating a strong field in its outer layers.

The layout would be the same as the stabilized pinch concept, but the role of the two fields would be reversed. Instead of weak externally induced magnetic fields providing stabilization and a strong pinch current responsible for confinement, in the new layout, the external field would be much more powerful in order to provide the majority of confinement, while the current would be much smaller and responsible for the stabilizing effect.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001840-37">[35]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Steps_toward_declassification">Steps toward declassification</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Steps toward declassification">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg/220px-Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg/330px-Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg/440px-Kurchatov_at_Harwell_on_26_April_1956.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2408" data-file-height="1805" /></a><figcaption>Khrushchev (roughly centred, bald), Kurchatov (to the right, bearded), and Bulganin (to the right, white-haired) visited Harwell on 26 April 1956.

ZETA was, by far, the largest and most powerful fusion machine to date. Supported by experiments on earlier designs that had been modified to include stabilization, ZETA intended to produce low levels of fusion reactions. This was apparently a great success, and in January 1958, they announced the fusion had been achieved in ZETA based on the release of neutrons and measurements of the plasma temperature.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcCrackenStott20125-47">[45]</a> <a href="/wiki/Vitaly_Shafranov" title="Vitaly Shafranov">Vitaly Shafranov</a> and Stanislav Braginskii examined the news reports and attempted to figure out how it worked.

In particular, their design considered one important point found in Kruskal's and Shafranov's works; if the helical path of the particles made them circulate around the plasma's circumference more rapidly than they circulated the long axis of the torus, the kink instability would be strongly suppressed.<a href="#cite_note-criterion-39">[37]</a> (To be clear, Electrical current in coils wrapping around the torus produces a toroidal magnetic field inside the torus; a pulsed magnetic field through the hole in the torus induces the axial current in the torus which has a poloidal magnetic field surrounding it; there may also be rings of current above and below the torus that create additional poloidal magnetic field. The combined magnetic fields form a helical magnetic structure inside the torus.) Today this basic concept is known as the <a href="/wiki/Safety_factor_(plasma_physics)" title="Safety factor (plasma physics)">safety factor</a>. The ratio of the number of times the particle orbits the major axis compared to the minor axis is denoted q, and the Kruskal-Shafranov Limit stated that the kink will be suppressed as long as q > 1. This path is controlled by the relative strengths of the externally induced magnetic field compared to the field created by the internal current. To have q > 1, the external magnets must be much more powerful, or alternatively, the internal current has to be reduced.<a href="#cite_note-criterion-39">[37]</a> Following this criterion, design began on a new reactor, T-1, which today is known as the first real tokamak.<a href="#cite_note-tokomag-42">[40]</a> T-1 used both stronger external magnetic fields and a reduced current compared to stabilized pinch machines like ZETA. The success of the T-1 resulted in its recognition as the first working tokamak.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-48">[46]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001-49">[47]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-51">[49]</a> For his work on "powerful impulse discharges in a gas, to obtain unusually high temperatures needed for thermonuclear processes", Yavlinskii was awarded the <a href="/wiki/Lenin_Prize" title="Lenin Prize">Lenin Prize</a> and the <a href="/wiki/State_Stalin_Prize" class="mw-redirect" title="State Stalin Prize">Stalin Prize</a> in 1958.

Among them was a set of initial results on their toroidal machines, which at that point had shown nothing of note.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001842-56">[53]</a> The "star" of the show was a large model of Spitzer's stellarator, which immediately caught the attention of the Soviets. In contrast to their designs, the stellarator produced the required twisted paths in the plasma without driving a current through it, using a series of external coils (producing internal magnetic fields) that could operate in the steady state rather than the pulses of the induction system that produced the axial current. Kurchatov began asking Yavlinskii to change their T-3 design to a stellarator, but they convinced him that the current provided a useful second role in heating, something the stellarator lacked.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001842-56">[53]</a> At the time of the show, the stellarator had suffered a long string of minor problems that were just being solved. Solving these revealed that the diffusion rate of the plasma was much faster than theory predicted. Similar problems were seen in all the contemporary designs, for one reason or another. The stellarator, various pinch concepts and the <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_mirror" title="Magnetic mirror">magnetic mirror</a> machines in both the US and USSR all demonstrated problems that limited their confinement times.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmirnov20092-54">[52]</a> From the first studies of controlled fusion, there was a problem lurking in the background. During the Manhattan Project, <a href="/wiki/David_Bohm" title="David Bohm">David Bohm</a> had been part of the team working on isotopic separation of <a href="/wiki/Uranium" title="Uranium">uranium</a>. In the post-war era he continued working with plasmas in magnetic fields. Using basic theory, one would expect the plasma to diffuse across the lines of force at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the strength of the field, meaning that small increases in force would greatly improve confinement. But based on their experiments, Bohm developed an empirical formula, now known as <a href="/wiki/Bohm_diffusion" title="Bohm diffusion">Bohm diffusion</a>, that suggested the rate was linear with the magnetic force, not its square.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198266-57">[54]</a> If Bohm's formula was correct, there was no hope one could build a fusion reactor based on magnetic confinement. To confine the plasma at the temperatures needed for fusion, the magnetic field would have to be orders of magnitude greater than any known magnet. Spitzer ascribed the difference between the Bohm and classical diffusion rates to turbulence in the plasma,<a href="#cite_note-58">[55]</a> and believed the steady fields of the stellarator would not suffer from this problem. Various experiments at that time suggested the Bohm rate did not apply, and that the classical formula was correct.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198266-57">[54]</a> But by the early 1960s, with all of the various designs leaking plasma at a prodigious rate, Spitzer himself concluded that the Bohm scaling was an inherent quality of plasmas, and that magnetic confinement would not work.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmirnov20092-54">[52]</a> The entire field descended into what became known as "the doldrums",<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982130-59">[56]</a> a period of intense pessimism.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShafranov2001840-37">[35]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Progress_in_the_1960s">Progress in the 1960s</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Progress in the 1960s">edit</a>]</div> In contrast to the other designs, the experimental tokamaks appeared to be progressing well, so well that a minor theoretical problem was now a real concern. In the presence of gravity, there is a small pressure gradient in the plasma, formerly small enough to ignore but now becoming something that had to be addressed. This led to the addition of yet another set of coils in 1962, which produced a vertical magnetic field that offset these effects. These were a success, and by the mid-1960s the machines began to show signs that they were beating the <a href="/wiki/Bohm_diffusion" title="Bohm diffusion">Bohm limit</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982153-60">[57]</a> At the 1965 Second <a href="/wiki/International_Atomic_Energy_Agency" title="International Atomic Energy Agency">International Atomic Energy Agency</a> Conference on fusion at the UK's newly opened <a href="/wiki/Culham_Centre_for_Fusion_Energy" title="Culham Centre for Fusion Energy">Culham Centre for Fusion Energy</a>, Artsimovich reported that their systems were surpassing the Bohm limit by 10 times. Spitzer, reviewing the presentations, suggested that the Bohm limit may still apply; the results were within the range of experimental error of results seen on the stellarators, and the temperature measurements, based on the magnetic fields, were simply not trustworthy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982153-60">[57]</a> The next major international fusion meeting was held in August 1968 in <a href="/wiki/Novosibirsk" title="Novosibirsk">Novosibirsk</a>. By this time two additional tokamak designs had been completed, TM-2 in 1965, and T-4 in 1968. Results from T-3 had continued to improve, and similar results were coming from early tests of the new reactors. At the meeting, the Soviet delegation announced that T-3 was producing electron temperatures of 1000 eV (equivalent to 10 million degrees Celsius) and that confinement time was at least 50 times the Bohm limit.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982151-61">[58]</a> These results were at least 10 times that of any other machine. If correct, they represented an enormous leap for the fusion community. Spitzer remained skeptical, noting that the temperature measurements were still based on the indirect calculations from the magnetic properties of the plasma. Many concluded they were due to an effect known as <a href="/wiki/Runaway_electrons" title="Runaway electrons">runaway electrons</a>, and that the Soviets were measuring only those extremely energetic electrons and not the bulk temperature. The Soviets countered with several arguments suggesting the temperature they were measuring was <a href="/wiki/Maxwell%E2%80%93Boltzmann_distribution" title="Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution">Maxwellian</a>, and the debate raged.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982166-62">[59]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Culham_Five">Culham Five</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Culham Five">edit</a>]</div> In the aftermath of ZETA, the UK teams began the development of new plasma diagnostic tools to provide more accurate measurements.

After a lengthy installation and calibration process, the team measured the temperatures over a period of many experimental runs. Initial results were available by August 1969; the Soviets were correct, their results were accurate. The team phoned the results home to Culham, who then passed them along in a confidential phone call to Washington.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982167-66">[63]</a> The final results were published in Nature in November 1969.<a href="#cite_note-culham-67">[64]</a> The results of this announcement have been described as a "veritable stampede" of tokamak construction around the world.<a href="#cite_note-68">[65]</a> One serious problem remained. Because the electrical current in the plasma was much lower and produced much less compression than a pinch machine, this meant the temperature of the plasma was limited to the resistive heating rate of the current. First proposed in 1950, <a href="/wiki/Spitzer_resistivity" title="Spitzer resistivity">Spitzer resistivity</a> stated that the <a href="/wiki/Electrical_resistance" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical resistance">electrical resistance</a> of a plasma was reduced as the temperature increased,<a href="#cite_note-Spitzer_1950-69">[66]</a> meaning the heating rate of the plasma would slow as the devices improved and temperatures were pressed higher. Calculations demonstrated that the resulting maximum temperatures while staying within q > 1 would be limited to the low millions of degrees. Artsimovich had been quick to point this out in Novosibirsk, stating that future progress would require new heating methods to be developed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982161-70">[67]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="US_turmoil">US turmoil</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: US turmoil">edit</a>]</div> One of the people attending the Novosibirsk meeting in 1968 was <a href="/wiki/Amasa_Stone_Bishop" title="Amasa Stone Bishop">Amasa Stone Bishop</a>, one of the leaders of the US fusion program.

MIT's <a href="/wiki/Francis_Bitter_Magnet_Laboratory" class="mw-redirect" title="Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory">Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory</a> was the world leader in magnet design and they were confident they could build them.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982161-70">[67]</a> During 1969, two additional groups entered the field. At <a href="/wiki/General_Atomics" title="General Atomics">General Atomics</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tihiro_Ohkawa" title="Tihiro Ohkawa">Tihiro Ohkawa</a> had been developing multipole reactors, and submitted a concept based on these ideas. This was a tokamak that would have a non-circular plasma cross-section; the same math that suggested a lower aspect-ratio would improve performance also suggested that a C or D-shaped plasma would do the same. He called the new design <a href="/w/index.php?title=Doublet_(fusion_reactor)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Doublet (fusion reactor) (page does not exist)">Doublet</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982164-75">[72]</a> Meanwhile, a group at <a href="/wiki/University_of_Texas_at_Austin" title="University of Texas at Austin">University of Texas at Austin</a> was proposing a relatively simple tokamak to explore heating the plasma through deliberately induced turbulence, the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Texas_Turbulent_Tokamak&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Texas Turbulent Tokamak (page does not exist)">Texas Turbulent Tokamak</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982165-76">[73]</a> When the members of the Atomic Energy Commissions' Fusion Steering Committee met again in June 1969, they had "tokamak proposals coming out of our ears".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982165-76">[73]</a> The only major lab working on a toroidal design that was not proposing a tokamak was Princeton, who refused to consider it in spite of their Model C stellarator being just about perfect for such a conversion. They continued to offer a long list of reasons why the Model C should not be converted. When these were questioned, a furious debate broke out about whether the Soviet results were reliable.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982165-76">[73]</a> Watching the debate take place, Gottlieb had a change of heart. There was no point moving forward with the tokamak if the Soviet electron temperature measurements were not accurate, so he formulated a plan to either prove or disprove their results. While swimming in the pool during the lunch break, he told <a href="/wiki/Harold_Furth" title="Harold Furth">Harold Furth</a> his plan, to which Furth replied: "well, maybe you're right."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982167-66">[63]</a> After lunch, the various teams presented their designs, at which point Gottlieb presented his idea for a "stellarator-tokamak" based on the Model C.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982167-66">[63]</a> The Standing Committee noted that this system could be complete in six months, while Ormak would take a year.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982167-66">[63]</a> It was only a short time later that the confidential results from the Culham Five were released.

The stellarator was abandoned, and PPPL turned its considerable expertise to the problem of heating the plasma. Two concepts seemed to hold promise. PPPL proposed using magnetic compression, a pinch-like technique to compress a warm plasma to raise its temperature, but providing that compression through magnets rather than current.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982169-78">[75]</a> Oak Ridge suggested <a href="/wiki/Neutral_beam_injection" class="mw-redirect" title="Neutral beam injection">neutral beam injection</a>, small particle accelerators that would shoot fuel atoms through the surrounding magnetic field where they would collide with the plasma and heat it.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982171-79">[76]</a> PPPL's <a href="/w/index.php?title=Adiabatic_Toroidal_Compressor&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Adiabatic Toroidal Compressor (page does not exist)">Adiabatic Toroidal Compressor</a> (ATC) began operation in May 1972, followed shortly thereafter by a neutral-beam equipped Ormak. Both demonstrated significant problems, but PPPL leapt past Oak Ridge by fitting beam injectors to ATC and provided clear evidence of successful heating in 1973. This success "scooped" Oak Ridge, who fell from favour within the Washington Steering Committee.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982212-80">[77]</a> By this time a much larger design based on beam heating was under construction, the <a href="/wiki/Princeton_Large_Torus" title="Princeton Large Torus">Princeton Large Torus</a>, or PLT. PLT was designed specifically to "give a clear indication whether the tokamak concept plus auxiliary heating can form a basis for a future fusion reactor".<a href="#cite_note-timeline-81">[78]</a> PLT was an enormous success, continually raising its internal temperature until it hit 60 million Celsius (8,000 eV, eight times T-3's record) in 1978. This is a key point in the development of the tokamak; fusion reactions become self-sustaining at temperatures between 50 and 100 million Celsius, PLT demonstrated that this was technically achievable.<a href="#cite_note-timeline-81">[78]</a> These experiments, especially PLT, put the US far in the lead in tokamak research.

In the US, Hirsch began formulating plans for a similar design, skipping over proposals for another stepping-stone design directly to a tritium-burning one. This emerged as the <a href="/wiki/Tokamak_Fusion_Test_Reactor" title="Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor">Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor</a> (TFTR), run directly from Washington and not linked to any specific lab.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198210-85">[82]</a> Originally favouring Oak Ridge as the host, Hirsch moved it to PPPL after others convinced him they would work the hardest on it because they had the most to lose.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg1982215-86">[83]</a> The excitement was so widespread that several commercial ventures to produce commercial tokamaks began around this time.

JET quickly took the lead in critical experiments, moving from test gases to deuterium and increasingly powerful "shots". But it soon became clear that none of the new systems were working as expected. A host of new instabilities appeared, along with a number of more practical problems that continued to interfere with their performance. On top of this, dangerous "excursions" of the plasma hitting with the walls of the reactor were evident in both TFTR and JET. Even when working perfectly, plasma confinement at fusion temperatures, the so-called "<a href="/wiki/Fusion_triple_product" class="mw-redirect" title="Fusion triple product">fusion triple product</a>", continued to be far below what would be needed for a practical reactor design. Through the mid-1980s the reasons for many of these problems became clear, and various solutions were offered. However, these would significantly increase the size and complexity of the machines. A follow-on design incorporating these changes would be both enormous and vastly more expensive than either JET or TFTR. A new period of pessimism descended on the fusion field. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="ITER">ITER</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: ITER">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/ITER" title="ITER">ITER</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_(9786811206).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg/330px-U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="330" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg/495px-U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg/660px-U.S._Department_of_Energy_-_Science_-_425_003_001_%289786811206%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2040" data-file-height="2040" /></a><figcaption>Cutaway diagram of the <a href="/wiki/International_Thermonuclear_Experimental_Reactor" class="mw-redirect" title="International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor">International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor</a> (ITER) the largest tokamak in the world, which began construction in 2013 and is projected to begin full operation in 2035.

In order to maintain the fusion process, particles from the hot plasma must be confined in the central region, or the plasma will rapidly cool. Magnetic confinement fusion devices exploit the fact that charged particles in a magnetic field experience a <a href="/wiki/Lorentz_force" title="Lorentz force">Lorentz force</a> and follow helical paths along the field lines.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199913-95">[92]</a> The simplest magnetic confinement system is a <a href="/wiki/Solenoid" title="Solenoid">solenoid</a>. A plasma in a solenoid will spiral about the lines of field running down its center, preventing motion towards the sides. However, this does not prevent motion towards the ends. The obvious solution is to bend the solenoid around into a circle, forming a torus. However, it was demonstrated that such an arrangement is not uniform; for purely geometric reasons, the field on the outside edge of the torus is lower than on the inside edge. This asymmetry causes the electrons and ions to <a href="/wiki/Guiding_center" title="Guiding center">drift across the field</a>, and eventually hit the walls of the torus.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBromberg198216-31">[29]</a> The solution is to shape the lines so they do not simply run around the torus, but twist around like the stripes on a <a href="/wiki/Barber_pole" class="mw-redirect" title="Barber pole">barber pole</a> or <a href="/wiki/Candycane" class="mw-redirect" title="Candycane">candycane</a>. In such a field any single particle will find itself at the outside edge where it will drift one way, say up, and then as it follows its magnetic line around the torus it will find itself on the inside edge, where it will drift the other way. This cancellation is not perfect, but calculations showed it was enough to allow the fuel to remain in the reactor for a useful time.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199913-95">[92]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tokamak_solution">Tokamak solution</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Tokamak solution">edit</a>]</div> The two first solutions to making a design with the required twist were the <a href="/wiki/Stellarator" title="Stellarator">stellarator</a> which did so through a mechanical arrangement, twisting the entire torus, and the <a href="/wiki/Z-pinch" title="Z-pinch">z-pinch</a> design which ran an electrical current through the plasma to create a second magnetic field to the same end. Both demonstrated improved confinement times compared to a simple torus, but both also demonstrated a variety of effects that caused the plasma to be lost from the reactors at rates that were not sustainable. The tokamak is essentially identical to the z-pinch concept in its physical layout.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKenward1979b627-96">[93]</a> Its key innovation was the realization that the instabilities that were causing the pinch to lose its plasma could be controlled. The issue was how "twisty" the fields were; fields that caused the particles to transit inside and out more than once per orbit around the long axis torus were much more stable than devices that had less twist. This ratio of twists to orbits became known as the <a href="/wiki/Safety_factor_(plasma_physics)" title="Safety factor (plasma physics)">safety factor</a>, denoted q.

This increases stability by orders of magnitude. When the problem is considered even more closely, the need for a vertical (parallel to the axis of rotation) component of the magnetic field arises. The Lorentz force of the toroidal plasma current in the vertical field provides the inward force that holds the plasma torus in equilibrium. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_issues">Other issues</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Other issues">edit</a>]</div> While the tokamak addresses the issue of plasma stability in a gross sense, plasmas are also subject to a number of dynamic instabilities. One of these, the <a href="/wiki/Kink_instability" title="Kink instability">kink instability</a>, is strongly suppressed by the tokamak layout, a side-effect of the high safety factors of tokamaks. The lack of kinks allowed the tokamak to operate at much higher temperatures than previous machines, and this allowed a host of new phenomena to appear. One of these, the <a href="/wiki/Neoclassical_transport" title="Neoclassical transport">banana orbits</a>, is caused by the wide range of particle energies in a tokamak – much of the fuel is hot, but a certain percentage is much cooler. Due to the high twist of the fields in the tokamak, particles following their lines of force rapidly move towards the inner edge and then outer. As they move inward they are subject to increasing magnetic fields due to the smaller radius concentrating the field. The low-energy particles in the fuel will <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_mirror" title="Magnetic mirror">reflect</a> off this increasing field and begin to travel backwards through the fuel, colliding with the higher energy nuclei and scattering them out of the plasma. This process causes fuel to be lost from the reactor, although this process is slow enough that a practical reactor is still well within reach.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199915–18-97">[94]</a> Another instability is tearing instability. In 2024 researchers used <a href="/wiki/Reinforcement_learning" title="Reinforcement learning">reinforcement learning</a> against a multimodal dynamic model to measure and forecast such instabilities based on signals from multiple diagnostics and actuators at 25 millisecond intervals.

The reward function balanced the conflicting objectives of maximum plasma pressure and instability risks. In particular, the plasma actively tracked the stable path while maintaining H-mode performance.<a href="#cite_note-98">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[96]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Breakeven,_Q,_and_ignition">Breakeven, Q, and ignition</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Breakeven, Q, and ignition">edit</a>]</div> One of the first goals for any controlled fusion device is to reach <a href="/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor" title="Fusion energy gain factor">breakeven</a>, the point where the energy being released by the fusion reactions is equal to the amount of energy being used to maintain the reaction. The ratio of output to input energy is denoted Q, and breakeven corresponds to a Q of 1. A Q of more than one is needed for the reactor to generate net energy, but for practical reasons, it is desirable for it to be much higher. Once breakeven is reached, further improvements in confinement generally lead to a rapidly increasing Q. That is because some of the energy being given off by the fusion reactions of the most common fusion fuel, a 50-50 mix of <a href="/wiki/Deuterium" title="Deuterium">deuterium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tritium" title="Tritium">tritium</a>, is in the form of <a href="/wiki/Alpha_particle" title="Alpha particle">alpha particles</a>. These can collide with the fuel nuclei in the plasma and heat it, reducing the amount of external heat needed. At some point, known as ignition, this internal self-heating is enough to keep the reaction going without any external heating, corresponding to an infinite Q. In the case of the tokamak, this self-heating process is maximized if the alpha particles remain in the fuel long enough to guarantee they will collide with the fuel. As the alphas are electrically charged, they are subject to the same fields that are confining the fuel plasma. The amount of time they spend in the fuel can be maximized by ensuring their orbit in the field remains within the plasma. It can be demonstrated that this occurs when the electrical current in the plasma is about 3 MA.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199920-100">[97]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Advanced_tokamaks">Advanced tokamaks</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Advanced tokamaks">edit</a>]</div> In the early 1970s, studies at Princeton into the use of high-power superconducting magnets in future tokamak designs examined the layout of the magnets. They noticed that the arrangement of the main toroidal coils meant that there was significantly more tension between the magnets on the inside of the curvature where they were closer together. Considering this, they noted that the tensional forces within the magnets would be evened out if they were shaped like a D, rather than an O. This became known as the "Princeton D-coil".<a href="#cite_note-101">[98]</a> This was not the first time this sort of arrangement had been considered, although for entirely different reasons. The safety factor varies across the axis of the machine; for purely geometrical reasons, it is always smaller at the inside edge of the plasma closest to the machine's center because the long axis is shorter there. That means that a machine with an average q = 2 might still be less than 1 in certain areas. In the 1970s, it was suggested that one way to counteract this and produce a design with a higher average q would be to shape the magnetic fields so that the plasma only filled the outer half of the torus, shaped like a D or C when viewed end-on, instead of the normal circular cross section. One of the first machines to incorporate a D-shaped plasma was the <a href="/wiki/Joint_European_Torus" title="Joint European Torus">JET</a>, which began its design work in 1973. This decision was made both for theoretical reasons as well as practical; because the force is larger on the inside edge of the torus, there is a large net force pressing inward on the entire reactor. The D-shape also had the advantage of reducing the net force, as well as making the supported inside edge flatter so it was easier to support.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199922-102">[99]</a> Code exploring the general layout noticed that a non-circular shape would slowly drift vertically, which led to the addition of an active feedback system to hold it in the center.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWesson199926-103">[100]</a> Once JET had selected this layout, the <a href="/wiki/General_Atomics" title="General Atomics">General Atomics</a> Doublet III team redesigned that machine into the D-IIID with a D-shaped cross-section, and it was selected for the Japanese <a href="/wiki/JT-60" title="JT-60">JT-60</a> design as well. This layout has been largely universal since then. One problem seen in all fusion reactors is that the presence of heavier elements causes energy to be lost at an increased rate, cooling the plasma. During the very earliest development of fusion power, a solution to this problem was found, the <a href="/wiki/Divertor" title="Divertor">divertor</a>, essentially a large <a href="/wiki/Mass_spectrometer" class="mw-redirect" title="Mass spectrometer">mass spectrometer</a> that would cause the heavier elements to be flung out of the reactor. This was initially part of the <a href="/wiki/Stellarator" title="Stellarator">stellarator</a> designs, where it is easy to integrate into the magnetic windings. However, designing a divertor for a tokamak proved to be a very difficult design problem. Another problem seen in all fusion designs is the heat load that the plasma places on the wall of the confinement vessel. There are materials that can handle this load, but they are generally undesirable and expensive <a href="/wiki/Heavy_metals" class="mw-redirect" title="Heavy metals">heavy metals</a>. When such materials are sputtered in collisions with hot ions, their atoms mix with the fuel and rapidly cool it. A solution used on most tokamak designs is the limiter, a small ring of light metal that projected into the chamber so that the plasma would hit it before hitting the walls. This eroded the limiter and caused its atoms to mix with the fuel, but these lighter materials cause less disruption than the wall materials. When reactors moved to the D-shaped plasmas it was quickly noted that the escaping particle flux of the plasma could be shaped as well. Over time, this led to the idea of using the fields to create an internal divertor that flings the heavier elements out of the fuel, typically towards the bottom of the reactor. There, a pool of liquid <a href="/wiki/Lithium" title="Lithium">lithium</a> metal is used as a sort of limiter; the particles hit it and are rapidly cooled, remaining in the lithium. This internal pool is much easier to cool, due to its location, and although some lithium atoms are released into the plasma, its very low mass makes it a much smaller problem than even the lightest metals used previously. As machines began to explore this newly <a href="/wiki/Plasma_shaping" title="Plasma shaping">shaped plasma</a>, they noticed that certain arrangements of the fields and plasma parameters would sometimes enter what is now known as the <a href="/wiki/High-confinement_mode" title="High-confinement mode">high-confinement mode</a>, or H-mode, which operated stably at higher temperatures and pressures. Operating in the H-mode, which can also be seen in stellarators, is now a major design goal of the tokamak design. Finally, it was noted that when the plasma had a non-uniform density it would give rise to internal electrical currents. This is known as the <a href="/wiki/Bootstrap_current" title="Bootstrap current">bootstrap current</a>. This allows a properly designed reactor to generate some of the internal current needed to twist the magnetic field lines without having to supply it from an external source. This has a number of advantages, and modern designs all attempt to generate as much of their total current through the bootstrap process as possible. By the early 1990s, the combination of these features and others collectively gave rise to the "advanced tokamak" concept. This forms the basis of modern research, including ITER. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Plasma_disruptions">Plasma disruptions</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Plasma disruptions">edit</a>]</div> Tokamaks are subject to events known as "disruptions" that cause confinement to be lost in <a href="/wiki/Millisecond" title="Millisecond">milliseconds</a>. There are two primary mechanisms. In one, the "vertical displacement event" (VDE), the entire plasma moves vertically until it touches the upper or lower section of the vacuum chamber. In the other, the "major disruption", long wavelength, non-axisymmetric <a href="/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics" title="Magnetohydrodynamics">magnetohydrodynamical</a> instabilities cause the plasma to be forced into non-symmetrical shapes, often squeezed into the top and bottom of the chamber.<a href="#cite_note-Kruger-104">[101]</a> When the plasma touches the vessel walls it undergoes rapid cooling, or "thermal quenching". In the major disruption case, this is normally accompanied by a brief increase in plasma current as the plasma concentrates. Quenching ultimately causes the plasma confinement to break up. In the case of the major disruption the current drops again, the "current quench". The initial increase in current is not seen in the VDE, and the thermal and current quench occurs at the same time.<a href="#cite_note-Kruger-104">[101]</a> In both cases, the thermal and electrical load of the plasma is rapidly deposited on the reactor vessel, which has to be able to handle these loads. ITER is designed to handle 2600 of these events over its lifetime.<a href="#cite_note-Putvinski-105">[102]</a> For modern high-energy devices, where plasma currents are on the order of 15 mega<a href="/wiki/Ampere" title="Ampere">amperes</a> in <a href="/wiki/ITER" title="ITER">ITER</a>, it is possible the brief increase in current during a major disruption will cross a critical threshold. This occurs when the current produces a force on the electrons that is higher than the frictional forces of the collisions between particles in the plasma. In this event, electrons can be rapidly accelerated to relativistic velocities, creating so-called "runaway electrons" in the <a href="/wiki/Relativistic_runaway_electron_avalanche" title="Relativistic runaway electron avalanche">relativistic runaway electron avalanche</a>. These retain their energy even as the current quench is occurring on the bulk of the plasma.<a href="#cite_note-Putvinski-105">[102]</a> When confinement finally breaks down, these runaway electrons follow the path of least resistance and impact the side of the reactor. These can reach 12 megaamps of current deposited in a small area, well beyond the capabilities of any mechanical solution.<a href="#cite_note-Kruger-104">[101]</a> In one famous case, the <a href="/wiki/Tokamak_de_Fontenay_aux_Roses" class="mw-redirect" title="Tokamak de Fontenay aux Roses">Tokamak de Fontenay aux Roses</a> had a major disruption where the runaway electrons burned a hole through the vacuum chamber.<a href="#cite_note-Putvinski-105">[102]</a> The occurrence of major disruptions in running tokamaks has always been rather high, of the order of a few percent of the total numbers of the shots. In currently operated tokamaks, the damage is often large but rarely dramatic. In the ITER tokamak, it is expected that the occurrence of a limited number of major disruptions will definitively damage the chamber with no possibility to restore the device.<a href="#cite_note-106">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-107">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-108">[105]</a> The development of systems to counter the effects of runaway electrons is considered a must-have piece of technology for the operational level ITER.<a href="#cite_note-Putvinski-105">[102]</a> A large amplitude of the central current density can also result in <a href="/wiki/Tokamak_sawtooth" title="Tokamak sawtooth">internal disruptions</a>, or sawteeth, which do not generally result in termination of the discharge.<a href="#cite_note-109">[106]</a> Densities over the Greenwald limit, a bound depending on the plasma current and the minor radius, typically leads to disruptions.<a href="#cite_note-110">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[108]</a> It has been exceeded up to factors of 10,<a href="#cite_note-112">[109]</a> but it remains an important concept describing the phenomenology of the transition of the plasma flow, which still needs to be understood.<a href="#cite_note-113">[110]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plasma_heating">Plasma heating</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Plasma heating">edit</a>]</div> In an operating fusion reactor, part of the energy generated will serve to maintain the plasma temperature as fresh <a href="/wiki/Deuterium" title="Deuterium">deuterium</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tritium" title="Tritium">tritium</a> are introduced. However, in the startup of a reactor, either initially or after a temporary shutdown, the plasma will have to be heated to its <a href="/wiki/Operating_temperature" title="Operating temperature">operating temperature</a> of greater than 10 keV (over 100 million degrees Celsius). In current tokamak (and other) magnetic fusion experiments, insufficient fusion energy is produced to maintain the plasma temperature, and constant external heating must be supplied. Chinese researchers set up the <a href="/wiki/Experimental_Advanced_Superconducting_Tokamak" title="Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak">Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak</a> (EAST) in 2006, which can supposedly sustain a plasma temperature of 100 million degree Celsius for initiating fusion between hydrogen atoms, according to a November 2018 test. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ohmic_heating_~_inductive_mode">Ohmic heating ~ inductive mode</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Ohmic heating ~ inductive mode">edit</a>]</div> Since the plasma is an electrical conductor, it is possible to heat the plasma by inducing a current through it; the induced current that provides most of the poloidal field is also a major source of initial heating. The heating caused by the induced current is called ohmic (or resistive) heating; it is the same kind of heating that occurs in an electric light bulb or in an electric heater. The heat generated depends on the resistance of the plasma and the amount of electric current running through it. But as the temperature of heated plasma rises, the resistance decreases and ohmic heating becomes less effective. It appears that the maximum plasma temperature attainable by ohmic heating in a tokamak is 20–30 million degrees Celsius. To obtain still higher temperatures, additional heating methods must be used. The current is induced by continually increasing the current through an electromagnetic winding linked with the plasma torus: the plasma can be viewed as the secondary winding of a transformer. This is inherently a pulsed process because there is a limit to the current through the primary (there are also other limitations on long pulses). Tokamaks must therefore either operate for short periods or rely on other means of heating and current drive. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Magnetic_compression">Magnetic compression</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Magnetic compression">edit</a>]</div> A gas can be heated by sudden compression. In the same way, the temperature of a plasma is increased if it is compressed rapidly by increasing the confining magnetic field. In a tokamak, this compression is achieved simply by moving the plasma into a region of higher magnetic field (i.e., radially inward). Since plasma compression brings the ions closer together, the process has the additional benefit of facilitating attainment of the required density for a fusion reactor. Magnetic compression was an area of research in the early "tokamak stampede", and was the purpose of one major design, the ATC. The concept has not been widely used since then, although a somewhat similar concept is part of the <a href="/wiki/General_Fusion" title="General Fusion">General Fusion</a> design. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Neutral-beam_injection">Neutral-beam injection</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Neutral-beam injection">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Neutral_beam_injection" class="mw-redirect" title="Neutral beam injection">Neutral beam injection</a></div> Neutral-beam injection involves the introduction of high energy (rapidly moving) atoms or molecules into an ohmically heated, magnetically confined plasma within the tokamak. The high energy atoms originate as ions in an arc chamber before being extracted through a high voltage grid set. The term "ion source" is used to generally mean the assembly consisting of a set of electron emitting filaments, an arc chamber volume, and a set of extraction grids. A second device, similar in concept, is used to separately accelerate electrons to the same energy. The much lighter mass of the electrons makes this device much smaller than its ion counterpart. The two beams then intersect, where the ions and electrons recombine into neutral atoms, allowing them to travel through the magnetic fields. Once the neutral beam enters the tokamak, interactions with the main plasma ions occur. This has two effects. One is that the injected atoms re-ionize and become charged, thereby becoming trapped inside the reactor and adding to the fuel mass. The other is that the process of being ionized occurs through impacts with the rest of the fuel, and these impacts deposit energy in that fuel, heating it. This form of heating has no inherent energy (temperature) limitation, in contrast to the ohmic method, but its rate is limited to the current in the injectors. Ion source extraction voltages are typically on the order of 50–100 kV, and high voltage, negative ion sources (-1 MV) are being developed for ITER. The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility in Padova will be the first ITER facility to start operation.<a href="#cite_note-114">[111]</a> While neutral beam injection is used primarily for plasma heating, it can also be used as a diagnostic tool and in feedback control by making a pulsed beam consisting of a string of brief 2–10 ms beam blips. Deuterium is a primary fuel for neutral beam heating systems and hydrogen and helium are sometimes used for selected experiments. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Radio-frequency_heating">Radio-frequency heating</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Radio-frequency heating">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg/220px-Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="176" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg/330px-Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg/440px-Gyrotron_plateforme.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1712" data-file-height="1368" /></a><figcaption>Set of hyperfrequency tubes (84 GHz and 118 GHz) for plasma heating by electron cyclotron waves on the <a href="/wiki/Tokamak_%C3%A0_configuration_variable" title="Tokamak à configuration variable">Tokamak à Configuration Variable</a> (TCV).

The energy from these particles eventually reaches the inner wall of the chamber through radiation, collisions, or lack of confinement. The heat from the particles is removed via conduction through the chamber's inner wall to a water-cooling system, where the heated water proceeds to an external cooling system through convection. Turbomolecular or diffusion pumps allow for particles to be evacuated from the bulk volume and cryogenic pumps, consisting of a liquid helium-cooled surface, serve to effectively control the density throughout the discharge by providing an energy sink for condensation to occur. When done correctly, the fusion reactions produce large amounts of high energy <a href="/wiki/Neutron" title="Neutron">neutrons</a>. Being electrically neutral and relatively tiny, the neutrons are not affected by the magnetic fields nor are they stopped much by the surrounding vacuum chamber. The neutron flux is reduced significantly at a purpose-built neutron shield boundary that surrounds the tokamak in all directions. Shield materials vary but are generally materials made of atoms which are close to the size of neutrons because these work best to absorb the neutron and its energy. Good candidate materials include those with much hydrogen, such as water and plastics. Boron atoms are also good absorbers of neutrons. Thus, concrete and polyethylene doped with boron make inexpensive neutron shielding materials. Once freed, the neutron has a relatively short half-life of about 10 minutes before it decays into a proton and electron with the emission of energy. When the time comes to actually try to make electricity from a tokamak-based reactor, some of the neutrons produced in the fusion process would be absorbed by a liquid metal blanket and their kinetic energy would be used in heat transfer processes to ultimately turn a generator. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Experimental_tokamaks">Experimental tokamaks</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Experimental tokamaks">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_fusion_experiments#Tokamak" title="List of fusion experiments">List of fusion experiments § Tokamak</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Currently_in_operation">Currently in operation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Tokamak&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Currently in operation">edit</a>]</div> (in chronological order of start of operations) <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tcv_int.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Tcv_int.jpg/220px-Tcv_int.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Tcv_int.jpg/330px-Tcv_int.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Tcv_int.jpg/440px-Tcv_int.jpg 2x" data-file-width="804" data-file-height="803" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Tokamak_%C3%A0_configuration_variable" title="Tokamak à configuration variable">Tokamak à Configuration Variable</a></figcaption></figure> <ul><li>1960s: TM1-MH (since 1977 as Castor; since 2007 as Golem<a href="#cite_note-golem-115">[112]</a>) in <a href="/wiki/Prague" title="Prague">Prague</a>, <a href="/wiki/Czech_Republic" title="Czech Republic">Czech Republic</a>.
