I've commented out one of them with no apparent connection - but (see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#.22See_also.22_section) the rest should be annotated to make their relevance clearer ? - Rod57 (talk) 16:36, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MAST Upgrade more prominence or new page[edit]

At the moment the page feels like it's documenting a past experiment, which it is of course, but I feel like the "MAST Upgrade" is the most important information on this page now (the current research) and should be fleshed out more, and given more prominence. The opening sentence says MAST "was" an experiment. Not sure if that could be reworded. Maybe some details could be moved into a sub-heading "Original MAST" or something -- Harry Wood (talk) 14:42, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the mention of MAST Upgrade in the lede. More would be better! --David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 12:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Things to add[edit]

fuel being used : only H?, deuterium ?, presumably no plans for tritium.
- [1] says "Plasma can be run in hydrogen, deuterium or helium (with hydrogen or deuterium beams)."
beta achieved in MAST, and planned for MAST-U (since beta is what ST's are good for)
progress in 2020 on commissioning
active URL for ref 1 (deadlink)
goals and results for MAST
goals for MAST-U (listed in the Nov 2019 research plan [2])
- study different divertor designs, inc Super-X
MAST-U pulse length limited by heating/cooling of central solenoid.
- Cooling to be enhanced in 2021. - Rod57 (talk) 12:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First plasma for MAST-U achieved Oct 2020.[3] - Rod57 (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
table with spec of MAST (inc from infobox) and add MAST-U
triple product achieved by MAST ( [4] p21 says 4.5×10^18 keVm−3 s (ref 82 Lloyd... Nucl. Fusion 47, S658 (2007))
- and what triple product is MAST-U aiming for ? - Rod57 (talk) 01:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
