The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak, or MAST experiment is a nuclear fusion experiment in operation at Culham, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom since December 1999. It follows the highly successful START experiment (1991 - 1998). MAST uses the same innovative spherical tokamak design as START, which has shown itself to be more efficient than the conventional toroidal design, adopted by JET and ITER.
