PPPL Achieves Milestone in Nuclear Fusion with NSTX-U Magnet Assembly

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has achieved a major milestone in nuclear fusion research by successfully completing the first quadrant of the magnet for the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U). This significant development is a key step in harnessing nuclear fusion energy, with powerful magnets designed to stabilize and confine hot plasma during experiments. The NSTX-U project aims to replicate the sun’s energy processes, paving the way for a clean and limitless energy source.
