The spherical tokamak programme at Culham

The spherical tokamak (ST) is the low aspect ratio limit of the conventional tokamak and appears to offer attractive physics properties in a simpler device. The START (Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak) experiment provided the world's first demonstration of the properties of hot plasmas in an ST configuration and was operational at Culham from January 1991 to March 1998, obtaining plasma currents of up to 300 kA and pulse durations of ∼50 ms. Its successor, MAST, is nearing completion and is a purpose built, high vacuum machine designed to have a tenfold increase in plasma volume with plasma currents of up to 2 MA. Current drive and heating will be by a combination of induction-compression as on START, a high performance central solenoid, with 1.5 MW ECRH and 5 MW of NBI. The promising results from START are reviewed, and the many challenges posed for the next generation of purpose built STs (such as MAST) are described.

球状トカマク(ST)は、従来型トカマクの低アスペクト比極限であり、より単純な装置で魅力的な物理的特性を提供するように思われる。START(Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak)実験は、ST配位における高温プラズマの特性を世界で初めて実証し、1991年1月から1998年3月までカラムで運転され、最大300 kAのプラズマ電流と約50 msのパルス持続時間を得た。その後継機であるMASTは完成間近であり、プラズマ体積を10倍に増やし、最大2 MAのプラズマ電流を持つように設計された、専用設計の高真空装置である。電流駆動と加熱は、STARTと同様の誘導圧縮、高性能な中心ソレノイド、1.5 MWのECRHと5 MWのNBIの組み合わせによって行われる。STARTからの有望な結果を概説し、次世代の専用設計ST(MASTなど)に課せられた多くの課題について述べる。
