Fast-tracking a divertor into ST40 during the Covid-19 pandemic--how did they do it?
In 2019, the Divertor Team was designing a divertor for a future major upgrade of ST40. But then, in early 2020, it was decided to fast-track a divertor into the current ST40, without a major upgrade, in order to improve performance for the 100 million degree milestone.
It was always going to be a huge challenge, but then coronavirus struck as well. But Tokamak Energy prides itself on the team's agility and innovation.
Hear the story of the challenge and how they tackled it from Daniel Iglesias and Rob Bamber.
