TL;DR: The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) as discussed by the authors was the first experiment to establish the fusion physics principles of the spherical torus (ST) concept, and the NSTX device began plasma operations in February 1999 and the plasma current Ip was successfully brought up to the design value of 1-MA on 14 December 1999.
