Researchers from Princeton University have developed an AI model aimed at addressing one of the greatest challenges in nuclear fusion: preventing plasma from becoming unstable. This instability can lead to catastrophic consequences by causing plasma to escape from the magnetic confines of tokamak reactors before a sustained fusion reaction can occur. Their findings, published in Nature, highlight the model's potential to improve the stability of plasma in reactors, essential for the success of fusion as a viable energy source.
Plasma instabilities in tokamak reactors can lead to catastrophic consequences, risking not just reactor damage but also the financial implications of repairs and operational interruptions.
Researchers developed an AI model that predicts and prevents plasma instabilities in donut-shaped tokamak reactors, crucial for advancing nuclear fusion technology.
