Notice Title

Reduced Plasma Transport Model

Notice Description

The UK AEA STEP Porgramme requires focussed effort from external world-leading experts in developing, validating and exploiting state-of-the-art reduced transport models. This is needed to produce state-of-the-art physics-based reduced plasma transport models capable of reliably predicting tokamak performance in the novel plasma turbulence regimes expected to dominate in high b STs.
