Divertor shaping with neutral baffling as a solution to the tokamak power exhaust challenge

Abstract Exhausting power from the hot fusion core to the plasma-facing components is one fusion energy’s biggest challenges. The MAST Upgrade tokamak uniquely integrates strong containment of neutrals within the exhaust area (divertor) with extreme divertor shaping capability. By systematically alt...
