World's first use of high temperature superconducting magnets on a tokamak Groundbreaking experiment leads the way to faster development of fusion Fusion research company Tokamak Solutions has worked with partners at Oxford Instruments, the Czech Technical University and Institute of Plasma Physics, Prague to use HTS magnets on a tokamak for the first time.

“We had a short window of opportunity to install HTS magnets on the Golem tokamak. SuperPower responded quickly to meet our requirements for HTS tape and the experiments – using HTS magnets for the first time ever on a tokamak - were successful, despite the tight deadline. It was possible to wind the HTS magnet in situ and relatively easy to fabricate the current feeds. Crucially the HTS tape stayed superconducting during plasma pulses and performed at least as well as specified in all respects. We are looking forward to our next experiments with higher field HTS magnets on a tokamak.”
