UK-based Tokamak Energy’s superconducting magnet system, which is being built to replicate fusion energy power plant forces, has passed significant milestone cryogenic tests. Creating fusion energy requires strong magnetic fields to confine and control the extremely hot hydrogen fuel, which becomes a plasma several times hotter than the centre of the Sun.

UK-based Tokamak Energy in February announced that it had built the first set of new generation high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets to be assembled and tested in fusion power plant-relevant scenarios. The magnets are intended for use in Tokamak’s planned ST-E1 fusion pilot plant expected to demonstrate the capability of delivering electricity into the grid in the early 2030s.
