As vessel development transitions from system design to prototyping, the ISDC is searching for candidates to fill critical engineering roles. These roles will lead prototyping and construction of key systems right through to the launch of the vessel and deep space trials.
Poloidal Field Generators (PGEN) manipulate the main containment field to optimise plasma flow characteristics with carefully-tuned complementary magnetic fields, using the principles of magnetic field dynamics.
The reactor plasma system manages the ‘triple product’ necessary to maintain a self-sustaining fusion reaction: plasma density, temperature and energy confinement time.
The ISDC’s Generation Program has released an overview of the fusion reactor’s coolant system, coinciding with the commencement of system prototyping. This prototyping is an important next step in the development of a working power system for vessel construction
