NSTX / NSTX-U
A leading spherical-tokamak experiment establishing low-aspect-ratio, high-beta physics.
- Type
- Spherical tokamak
- Relevance
- Breeder heritage
NSTX and its upgrade are spherical-tokamak experiments that established much of the low-aspect-ratio, high-beta physics Kronos's breeder relies on. HYPERION's beta target (βN = 1.532) sits within limits observed on such machines.
The spherical-tokamak database is the direct heritage of the Kronos breeder.
