| tore supra | <radiobiology> Large tokamak in Cadarache (southern France). The second largest tokamak in Europe, largest tokamak using superconducting toroidal field magnets. Tore Supra has a circular cross-section (like TFTR), which limits the achievable confinement time and experimental flexibility. In addition to developing superconducting technology, it concentrates on the physics of long pulses and ergodic magnetic limiters. See: ergodic, magnetic limiter, superconductor, tokamak.
