"K-Demo" is envisaged to generate 1000 Megawatts of electricity in steady state for several weeks at a time in a tokamak approximately the size of the ITER fusion engineering test reactor now under construction in France. It is hoped to have the facility operating in the 2030s.

The collaboration builds on a previous successful Princeton-Korea collaboration on the design and construction of KSTAR, Korea"s currently operating world-class fusion experiment.
