The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) at the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) in Daejeon has broken its previous plasma operation record during its first plasma campaign after upgrading its divertors, (plasma facing components) to tungsten monoblocks. KFE said it had sustained the plasma with ion temperatures of 100m degrees Celsius for 48 seconds during the KSTAR plasma campaign run from December 2023 to February 2024. Additionally, it achieved the high confinement mode (H-mode) for over 100 seconds.
