Within the scope of the project, due to its well-documented data and scalability tokamak configuration will be preferred. The project aims to overcome the technical challenges that remain on the path to commercial fusion power plants.
High temperature superconducting (HTS) coils will be used
For this purpose, to produce high-pressure plasmas in a compact size compared to more traditional and larger tokamaks high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils A low aspect ratio tokamak reactor will be selected using Reducing device size will help reduce production times and costs.
The device uses HTS coils, new low activation materials and deuterium production from seawater It will work using new technologies such as. The project includes achieving a continuously burning plasma, extracting and converting energy, demonstrating the tritium fuel cycle, and ensuring system integration and safety.

A conceptual design team consisting of plasma researchers and power plant engineering researchers will be organized to design the reactor. front design 2025 It is expected to be completed in .
According to the project statement, FAST is the world’s first attempt to obtain fusion energy from plasma and demonstrate plasma sustainability in an integrated way and address engineering challenges.
