Novel ’Super-X’ design shows major advantages in handling hot exhaust of fusion energy

International experiments at the UK fusion machine MAST Upgrade in Culham, led by Dutch researchers, demonstrate how the innovative ’Super-X’ design offers major advantages in handling the heat exhaust of fusion energy machines. Successfully managing the exhaust is one of the major hurdles in realising fusion energy. The results have been published in the top-tier journals Communication Physics and Nature Energy.
