TL;DR: The National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) as mentioned in this paper is an ultra low aspect ratio device with a plasma current of 1 MA, which is designed for an experimental pulse length that will demonstrate quasi-steady state non-inductively driven advanced tokamak operation.

TL;DR: NSTX is a proof-of-principle experiment aimed at exploring the physics of the ‘spherical torus’ (ST) configuration, which is predicted to exhibit more efficient magnetic confinement than conventional large aspect ratio tokamaks, among other advantages.

TL;DR: The NSTX project as discussed by the authors is the next step in the spherical torus (ST) experiment, which is characterized by high /spl beta/, high elongation, high bootstrap fraction, and low B/sub T/ compared to conventional tokamaks.
