ADITYA
Established the domestic experimental baseline for Indian fusion plasma science.
01 Definition
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

Intelligence Summary: ADITYA
Node Identity: ADITYA is a entity categorized under "Tokamak" in the india intelligence graph. Original ADITYA tokamak - operated for 25 years with ~30,000 discharges before 2016 upgrade.
Research Evidence: The following findings from 4 research documents reference this entity:
- ADITYA-U (upgraded from the original ADITYA tokamak in 2016) and SST-1 (Steady-State Superconducting Tokamak-1) are both actively running, though at modest performance levels compared to international benchmarks.
- Evidence: - ADITYA-U is a medium-size air-core tokamak with major radius 0.75 m, minor radius 0.25 m, max toroidal field 1.5 T.
