Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Quebec
Period: 1981-1998
Canada: The design and the construction of the Tokamak de Varennes, the related development of experimental research in plasma physics are considered as an important model of the "Big Science" projects in Canada at the end of the 20th century. [full text in S.I.]
Function: To conduct research in plasma physics, particularly the magnetic confinement of plasma, in order to extract a fusion fuel. The goal - to develop a limitless source of non-polluting energy (fusion).
Technical: [Project] allowed the scientists to meet successfully the challenges related to the complex construction and configuration of the internal coils...received international recognition as the 1st machine of its kind to explore and demonstrate in detail the positive effects of polarization [full text in S.I.]
