Tender description
UKIFS require PB curves which will determine the maximum voltage at which the STEP TF magnets can be discharged. This maximum voltage is a design driving parameter, and so is critical for the development of the TF concept. A series of PB curves is required, which will consist of breakdown voltage vs. gas pressure (or density x distance), including the effects of background magnetic field, geometry, gas type and gas temperature.

About the buyer
The UK Atomic Energy Authority is the central government body behind the UK's fusion energy programmes and tenders every opportunity above a low-value threshold.
