The T-15MD tokamak is an upgrade of its predecessor, the T-15 tokamak. The "MD" in T-15MD stands for "Modified Divertor." The original T-15 device was disassembled in 2017. Many components were upgraded and modernized for the T-15MD including the plasma heating and current drives.
The T-15MD was physically launched in May of 2021 and achieved its first stable plasma in 2023.
