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

At present spherical tokamaks are assumed to be prospective candidates for construction of thermonuclear reactors. These machines combine the advantages of spheromaks (compactness) and of tokamaks (improved plasma confinement). Such a combination allows achievement of higher plasma parameters in the presence of relative compactness and low cost of the main machine. Spherical tokamaks are also used for testing power stressed elements of the first wall and divertor under loads approaching those in experimental thermonuclear power reactors.
