Several new spherical tokamak (ST) experiments have become operational in the last two years. Results are now becoming available which increase the understanding of tokamak physics, extend confinement and threshold databases for next step devices such as ITER, and show the possibilities offered by the ST as a possible future burning plasma device or fusion power plant.
