KSTAR

Korean Superconducting Tokamak Reactor has started to operate in 2008. Its development roadmap is divided in two stages. The goal of the first is to keep reaction duration up to 20 seconds. Next step, after 2013 will be to achieved pulses up to 300 seconds. KSTAR can only use deuterium - deuterium fuel. Very important for ITER development is that Japanese unit uses superconducting magnets Nb3Sn. Its usage is planned in the ITER project. [60]
