±¬×ߺÚÁÏ

Work keeps progressing inside the Tore Supra tokamak at CEA-Cadarache. Operational since 1988, the CEA-Euratom machine is undergoing a major transformation (the project) in order to serve as a test bench for ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ.

 

On 29 July, operations to position the coil casings for the tungsten divertor began. Contrary to ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ, Tore Supra will need an extra coil located in the divertor area to create the  "X point" that draws the plasma to the divertor. © Christophe ROUX CEA-IRFM
