Steady-State Superconducting Tokamak-1 (SST-1)

Intelligence Summary: SST-1

Node Identity: SST-1 is a entity categorized under "Tokamak" in the india intelligence graph. Steady-State Superconducting Tokamak-1 (major radius 1.1 m, minor radius 0.2 m, 1.5 T) - achieved 100 kA plasma current for 450 ms.

Research Evidence: The following findings from 3 research documents reference this entity:

1. 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.
2. Fusion 64, 112011, 2024, 29th IAEA FEC) - SST-1 is a medium-size superconducting tokamak with major radius 1.1 m, minor radius 0.2 m, toroidal field routinely 1.5 T (designed for 3 T).
3. (Source: https://www.ipr.res.in/documents/sst-1.html) - IPR Director Dinesh Aswal acknowledged that SST-1 has achieved plasma durations of "a few hundred milliseconds" compared to international records of ~1,000 seconds, noting these machines were designed to lay foundations, not set records.

Strategic Relevance: SST-1 is a tracked entity within the india network. With 2 documented connections to other entities, this node plays a supporting role in the network topology.

Network Linkage: This entity maintains 2 documented connections in the intelligence network: SST-1 operated by IPR; IPR operates SST-1.
