FEATURE ARTICLE Tape winding is a precise and delicate task. Furukawa Electric and its U.S. subsidiary SuperPower supply the HTS tape UK's Atomic Energy Authority's (UKAEA) Culham Campus near Oxford. Its compact spherical tokamak, ST80-HTS, will demonstrate multiple technologies required for the delivery of clean, sustainable fusion energy and will include a complete set of its HTS magnets. Constructing the new purpose-built facility is targeted for completion in 2026. ST80-HTS will target the significantly longer pulse durations needed for sustained high power output in commercially competitive fusion power plants. It will also inform the design of its ST-E1 fusion pilot plant for demonstrating the capability to deliver electricity into the grid in the early 2030s at up to 200 MW of net electrical power. The companies are also evaluating scale-up plans to meet the requirements for Tokamak Energy's ST-E1 pilot plant and future commercial fusion power plants. For more info, www.tokamakenergy.co.uk. Compact, spherical ST80-HTS set for build at UKAEA facility Tokamak Energy's current ST40 fusion device has recently been upgraded to enable experiments relating to future features that will be incorporated in both ST80-HTS and ST-E1. Last year it achieved a 100 million degrees Celsius fusion plasma - the highest temperature ever recorded in a compact spherical tokamak. In January, Tokamak Energy announced it had contracted with Furukawa Electric of Tokyo and SuperPower of New York, a subsidiary in the Furukawa Electric Group, to provide more than several hundred kilometers of HTS tape for the next phase of construction of ST80-HTS. SuperPower is producing the tape at its plant in New York. www.MagneticsMag.com May/June 2023 * Magnetics Business & Technology 13http://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk http://lakeshore.com/fm http://lakeshore.com http://www.MagneticsMag.com
