KSTAR joins an exclusive club: Tandem shattered pellet injectors now in testing for disruption mitigation
First-of-a-kind experiments have begun at the KSTAR tokamak in Daejeon, South Korea, where two new shattered pellet injectors were installed in October and December. The tandem use of shattered pellet injectors installed at opposite sides of the machine is a first for the technology, which was developed and fabricated at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
