Reactors from papers

As well as the parametric reactors, the Paramak can be used to make non parametric reactors, where the shape of each component is given directly instead of being calculated from a few parameters. The reactors on this page are examples of the types of reactors that can be made in this way.

• These functions create reactors with fixed geometry taken from figures in published papers.

• The coordinates were read off the figures, so they are approximate and the models do not exactly match the real machines.

• The rotation_angle, number_of_tf_coils and colors can be changed.

SPARC

• Based on Figure 4 of A. J. Creely et al., “Overview of the SPARC tokamak”, Journal of Plasma Physics 86(5) (2020), doi:10.1017/S0022377820001257.

ITER

• Based on the diagram in “ITER Project: International Cooperation and Energy Investment” (2020), doi:10.1007/978-3-030-42913-3_26.

EU DEMO

• Based on Figure 2 of R. Kemp et al., “Definition of the basic DEMO tokamak geometry based on systems code studies”, Fusion Engineering and Design (2015), doi:10.1016/j.fusengdes.2015.06.097.
