Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The Kazakhstan Tokamak for Material testing (KTM) is proposed as a test bench for plasma-facing components investigation. Special attention is devoted to divertor plates testing under powerful particle and heat flux deposition. There are two important pecularities of KTM, which make it a unique installation: - single null (SN) plasma configuration with moderate-to-low aspect ratio A=2, high elongation k 95 , 1.7 and megaampere level of plasma current IP ; creation of database for elongated plasma with A=2 can be an important "bridge" between databases on traditional tokamaks with A >2.5-3 and spherical tokamaks with A h 1.5-1.6; - special equipment is designed for manipulation with divertor plates (vacuum sluices, a divertor "table" inside the vacuum vessel, which can be shifted both in vertical and azimuth directions).
