The pioneering spirit is embedded in our DNA, and it’s exhibited every day by our people. This is the first in a new series called ‘Fusion Pioneers’, a behind-the-scenes look at the work of some of our team as we develop a pioneering new energy source.
Cary Colgan is one of our Plasma Diagnosticians, whose work in Soft X-Ray (SXR) diagnostics involves looking into the heart of fusion plasmas, which are many times hotter than the sun.
SXR is just one of over 30 diagnostics systems we’re using and developing at Tokamak Energy, enabling us to monitor, measure and optimise plasma performance in our ST40 tokamak and future devices.
The information we’re gathering will feed into the design of our advanced fusion prototype, ST80-HTS, the next step on our pathway to commercial fusion energy.
