I was curious about this, so I tried to find out what the record for KSTAR was to date. In my research I found that it ran for 48 seconds in ‘24. The goal is to able to run it for 300 seconds by ‘26, but they have not attempted this.
Although for Plasma generation we’ve achieved much longer run times in both the east (1,066s) and west (1,337s)
Personal preference, but elixir just strikes a balance that doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading hieroglyphs so I’m actually happy to see it praised.
