01 Definition

India's first indigenously designed and built tokamak, operating for over 25 years at IPR before being upgraded to ADITYA-U.

02 Detailed_Analysis

ADITYA was India's first indigenously designed and fabricated magnetic confinement tokamak, commissioned at the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) in 1989. Over a 25-year operational lifespan, ADITYA executed approximately 30,000 plasma discharges, providing crucial empirical data on plasma turbulence, edge fluctuations, and magnetic limiter physics prior to its major reconstruction into ADITYA-U.

03 Key_Facts

  • India's first indigenous magnetic confinement tokamak, commissioned in 1989
  • Executed roughly 30,000 discharges over 25 years of continuous operations
  • Utilized an air-core transformer and poloidal ring limiter configuration
  • Decommissioned in 2015-2016 to facilitate the ADITYA-U upgrade
