Thailand Tokamak-1 (or TT-1) is a small research tokamak operated by the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand.[1][2] The tokamak was built in collaboration with the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and features an upgraded design based on the HT-6M tokamak developed in 1984. The first successful test of the device occurred on 21 April 2023. TT-1 officially began operations on 25 July 2023 and became the first tokamak to operate in Southeast Asia.[3][4]
