K-DEMO

托卡马克 device in REPUBLIC OF KOREA; data sourced from IAEA 2022 survey.

K-DEMO is a fusion device or design surveyed by the IAEA in 2022. K-DEMO is a DEMO concept based on conventional tokamak design being developed in the Republic of Korea by the Korean Institute of Fusion Energy. Construction of K-DEMO is expected to be fully completed by 2050. In a first early phase of the project (2037–2050), K- DEMO will be used to develop and test components. In its second phase, after 2050, it is expected to demonstrate net electrical power.

Purpose

The Purpose of K-DEMO are to demonstrate physics and technology necessary for achieving net engineering gain2 (Qeng>1).

Technical data
