However, some tokamaks, including the DIII-D tokamak in San Diego, have now experimented with the inverse shape known as negative triangularity.

Two seconds of hope for fusion power A fusion reactor in San Diego surpasses a limit on plasma density.

ITER engineers expect their tokamak reactor to generate 500 megawatts (Mw) of fusion power using just 50 Mw of input heating–compared with a nuclear fission reactor ’s roughly 1,000 Mw of ...

While the modeling framework looked at DIII-D, a tokamak operated by General Atomics in San Diego, the next phase of this research involves scaling the modeling framework to ITER.

DIII-D, pronounced “dee-three-dee,” is the largest tokamak in the United States. General Atomics’ fusion pilot plant will require building a brand new tokamak, among other infrastructure.

Westinghouse Electric has secured a $180m contract from ITER for the assembly of a nuclear fusion reactor’s vacuum vessel in ...

Almost unlimited clean energy has been brought a step closer with the setting of a new world record for the sustained running of a nuclear fusion reactor. China's "artificial sun"—formally known ...

San Diego’s General Atomics passes a milestone. Can nuclear fusion energy become a reality? The DIII-D facility is a cornerstone of research seeking to develop a virtually limitless, carbon-free ...

The DIII-D tokamak is a device designed not to produce energy, but to help researchers study the physics of the plasma where energy-releasing fusion reactors would take place and develop the ...

The testing occurred at the Department of Energy's DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego (see above). This tokamak reactor has been operating since the 1980s, and like all current fusion ...

Physics Nuclear fusion experiment overcomes two key operating hurdles Two important barriers to a stable, powerful fusion reaction have been leapt by an experiment in a small tokamak reactor, but ...
