Toroidal Fusion Core Experiment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Toroidal Fusion Core Experiment (TFCX) was a US design study for a tokamak fusion experiment in the mid 1980s.

It was intended to achieve ignition using long burns of over 100 seconds.[1] It could have used superconducting coils to create a 10 Tesla magnetic field.[2][3] Designed for an nt ~ 3x1020 and ion energy ~ 10-20keV,[4] it was never built.
