Tokamak GOLEM is on of the oldest tokamaks in the world, currently located at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical university in Prague. It serves as an educational device and almost all experiments and development are done by students themselves. This contribution summarizes the main topics of the last year.
Plasma current stabilization. Tokamak GOLEM operation control currently does not enable achieving a flat-top plasma current regime. The aim of the proposed project is the implementation of a system providing the possibility to change the circuit resistance during the capacitor discharge sequence, in order to achieve and sustain the flat-top phase. A tabletop tokamak model, emerging as a byproduct, serves mainly as a proof of concept for putting the system into operation and secondly the as a training platform for diagnostics testing and tokamak operation.
