Compact Ignition Tokamak

The Compact Ignition Tokamak is a plasma physics experiment that was designed but not built. It was designed by an inter-organizational team lead by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The experiment was designed to achieve a self-sustaining Thermonuclear fusion reaction (ignition) in a Tokamak with the minimum possible budget.^[1]
