The team operating the Korean tokamak KSTAR has announced it is running a new campaign of experiments focused on developing high-performance plasma scenarios. From now through February 2025, experiments will focus on:

* achieving advanced plasma confinement under high-temperature, high-density, and high-current conditions

* testing technologies for instability suppression

* researching tungsten impurity control through tungsten divertor testing and in-depth wall studies

In addition, the KSTAR team is planning over 40 collaborative experiments tackling fusion challenges with international partners, including research teams from DIII-D (USA) and WEST (France), and collaborators in Japan and China. These international partnerships will further expand to include the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, and other nations in the future.
