Frascati Tokamak Upgrade

The Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) is a tokamak operating at Frascati, Italy. Building on the Frascati Tokamak experiment, FTU is a compact, high-magnetic-field tokamak (B_tor = 8 Tesla ). It began operation in 1990 and has since achieved operating goals of 1.6 MA at 8 T and average electron density greater than 4×10²⁰ per cubic meter. The poloidal section of FTU is circular, with a limiter.

major radius	0.935 m
minor radius	0.30 m
magnetic field	< 8 T
plasma current	< 1.6 MA
