Japan has launched the FAST (Fusion by Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) project, aiming to achieve fusion-based power generation by the late 2030s. The project seeks to demonstrate an integrated fusion energy system, combining plasma sustainment, energy conversion, and the deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel cycle. Using a tokamak configuration with high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils, FAST aims for power generation of 50 to 100 MW, with a discharge duration of 1,000 seconds of D-T fusion burn. FAST will tackle key technical challenges that hinder the transition to commercial fusion power plants, including plasma confinement, energy transport, tritium breeding, and integrating these technologies into a scalable, economically viable system. The project intends to address the gap between current experimental devices and the practical energy extraction…
