描述了一种与ITER等托卡马克燃烧等离子体实验互补的球形环（ST）聚变能发展途径。ST战略的重点是紧凑的组件测试设施（CTF）和高性能先进的制度，导致更有吸引力的演示和发电厂规模的反应堆。为了提供CTF的物理基础，需要采取中间步骤，我们将其称为“下一步球面环面”（NSST）设备，并且我们在本文中详细检查。NSST是一个“性能扩展”阶段ST与等离子体电流为5？十个？MA，R = 1.5？m，BT？2.6？T和改变物理参数的可能性。NSST的使命是（1）为CTF的设计提供足够的物理基础;（2）探索具有高自举电流分数和高性能的先进操作场景，可用于CTF，演示和发电厂;（3）有助于高？环形等离子体NSST的设计是利用一个类似TFTR的网站，以尽量减少设计和施工所需的成本和时间。
A spherical torus (ST) fusion energy development path which is complementary to the proposed tokamak burning plasma experiments such as ITER is described. The ST strategy focuses on a compact component test facility (CTF) and high performance advanced regimes leading to more attractive Demo and power plant scale reactors. To provide the physical basis for the CTF an intermediate step needs to be taken, which we refer to as the 'next-step spherical torus' (NSST) device and which we examine in some detail herein. NSST is a 'performance extension' stage ST with a plasma current of 5?10?MA, R = 1.5?m, BT ? 2.6?T and the possibility of varying physical parameters. The mission of NSST is to (1) provide a sufficient physical basis for the design of a CTF; (2) explore advanced operating scenarios with high bootstrap current fraction and high performance which can be utilized by CTF, Demo, and power plants; and (3) contribute to the general science of high ? toroidal plasmas. The NSST is designed to utilize a TFTR-like site to minimize the cost and time required for design and construction.
