Superconducting PF#3 coils are needed for the next step of operation for elongated plasma experiments in SST-1. Top and bottom PF#3 coils bus-bars and current lead joints have been fabricated after the integration of two pairs of leak-tested con-ventional current leads with current feeder system chamber (CFSC) of SST-1 . Two pairs of vacuum barriers are installed to isolate cryostat and CFSC vacuum. Leak testing of supercritical and liquid helium circuits consisting of profiled SS tubes and cryogenic electrical isolators has been carried out after the completion of hydraulic connections.

Cryo-compatible and Paschen leak-tight electrical insulation consisting of Kapton tapes, FRP S-type glass tapes soaked with bisphenol epoxy and accelerator were applied to leak tight the joint boxes, bus-bars and integrated current leads. Most of the low temperature surfaces were covered using superinsulation MLI (Multi-Layer Insulation) to optimize the heat loads. The required temperature sensors, voltage taps, pressure drop transducers and flow meters were installed using newly integrated current leads for health monitoring during SST-1 plasma operations.

Terminal shorting resistors are also being installed at the top of CFSC to optimize the induced voltages on all nine PF coils. This task has been carried out by Magnets, Cryogenics, MESD and Vacuum division.

Diagrams of Indias nuclear fusion reactor SST1 .

The SST-1 is the only Tokamak in the world to operate the toroidal magnets in a two-phase flow. This gives diversified results for a fusion study. One of the great things about fusion reactors is that they use hydrogen and isotopes of hydrogen. This means energy could even be extracted from a glass of water with no harmful byproducts.

An upgraded version SST 2 under development.

In the Indian fusion roadmap, SST-2 fusion reactor is the next device to be built for realizing the reactor technologies and D-T fuel cycle. This device will also serve as the test bed for qualifying reactor components for the Indian DEMO reactor.

The SST-2 reactor is a medium sized device with a low fusion gain (Q = 5). The fusion power output can be from 100 to 300. MW, with appropriate up-gradation of in-vessel components. This device will be realized with existing materials and technologies. The tritium breeding is achieved by having breeding blankets only at the outboard side, while at the inboard side, shielding blankets are placed due to limited space availability. The magnets are superconducting in nature to have steady state operation of plasma.

An integrated design of SST-2 is developed in terms of physics, engineering and neutronic, to assess the over all reactor performance. This analysis will show the possible improvements in the SST2 reactor design to enhance the performance by optimizing the geometrical parameters, plasma parameters, heat removal capability and neutronic performance.

How many Thorium Reactors does India have ??
How are thorium reactors different from Fusion reactors ??

Bro Indian thorium research is the best in the world , we have Advanced Heavy Water Reactor Capability to produce 300 MWe probably the world's Most advanced thorium reactor. It is a prototype , the commercial reactor was planned at an undisclosed location somewhere in south I think in 2018 but no details yet

And I hope the never disclose it ! Else me prepared for xtian mafia aided by western intel agencies to stage another protest like in thoothukudi or kalapakkam and close that down too....
