±¬×ߺÚÁÏ publishes research plan R&D needs
Open R&D issues related to the new ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Baseline 2024 are described together with experimental, modelling and validation activities required to address them.
In describing the R&D program of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ device, the also identifies the top issues requiring consolidation or refinement. The R&D required to address these issues have been examined in collaboration with the groups of experts from International Tokamak Physics Activity and the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Research Plan development team. In the interest of making these R&D support needs more widely accessible to the fusion research community, scientists at the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ have just released a consolidated updated list as an ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Technical Report.
The report, published on 30 May 2025, provides the description of a selected set of issues related to completion of systems' designs, specific choices and options to be explored in the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Research Plan, and strategic assumptions on the development of the Plan's experimental program towards high-Q operation.
The support from ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Member fusion research institutes provides an essential contribution to the further refinement of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Research Plan. Making these R&D needs publicly available is intended to strengthen this support.
