Welcome to Tokamak Tales
Welcome to Tokamak Tales - the blog about nuclear fusion. We
are a bunch of engineers and physicists on the Graduate Scheme at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) near
Abingdon in Oxfordshire. Tokamaks are doughnut-shaped devices that are used for magnetic confinement fusion. There are two tokamaks based here, one being JET (Joint European Torus) - currently the largest working tokamak in the world - shown in the second picture from the left in the blog's banner at the top of this page. The other one, MAST (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak - see the middle picture in the banner), is a spherical tokamak doing ground-breaking research into plasma-physics.
