Learned magnetic control of tokamak plasmas

Contribution grade

Fusion plasma control · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score13,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

A deep reinforcement-learning controller produced and maintained multiple plasma configurations in physical experiments on the TCV tokamak.

Scientific scope

A deep reinforcement-learning controller produced and maintained multiple plasma configurations in physical experiments on the TCV tokamak. Scope limitation: Human teams supplied the facility, simulation, objectives and experimental validation. Plasma-shape control does not establish fusion energy breakeven or a working power plant.

Evidence

Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. Human teams supplied the facility, simulation, objectives and experimental validation. Plasma-shape control does not establish fusion energy breakeven or a working power plant.
