SST-1 (steady state superconducting tokamak) is a plasma confinement experimental device in the Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) an autonomous research institute under Department of Atomic Energy India. It belongs to a new generation of tokamaks with the major objective being steady state operation of an advanced configuration (‘D’ Shaped) plasma. It has been designed as a medium-sized tokamak with superconducting magnets.
