KTM
The main purpose of the KTM tokamak is to study and test materials and design solutions for protecting the fusion reactor first wall, to develop methods to reduce the heat loads on divertor plates and divertor units as well as various methods of heat and energy removal, including ways to quickly pump out the divertor volume, and develop methods for preventing out-of-order failure of…
