Electric Tokamak

The UCLA Electric Tokamak is a low field (0.25 T) magnetic fusion tokamak device with a large aspect ratio. At present, ET is the largest tokamak ever built, with a vacuum vessel slightly bigger than JET. The machine has a major radius of 5 metres, a minor radius of 1 metre, plasma current of 45 kiloamperes and can produce a core electron plasma temperature of 300 electronvolts. First plasma was achieved in January 1999.
