The tokamak’s lower current hybrid drive, which supplements the main current with over a megawatt of microwave power, sits behind a safety fence.

This coaxial cable carries several megawatts of radio frequency power into the tokamak to heat the plasma inside at the ion-cyclotron resonance frequency.

A cramped port that grants access into the innards of the tokamak for repairs and routine maintenance glows brightly.
