Abstract
A compact fusion pilot plant lies in physics regimes where plasma behavior can be different from present devices. It requires integrating innovative and improved solutions to tokamak physics problems that go beyond presently developed implementations. A well-developed physics basis with validated models is required to project solutions to the pilot. This motivates new research capabilities with considerable flexibility to pioneer and project the necessary solutions, operating at higher pressure, power and particle densities than present facilities. Options to address this need include a new ‘built from scratch’ facility and upgrades to existing devices in collaboration with planned facilities.
