DIII and D
[edit]Was it an upgrade to DIII ? Is the 2nd D for Divertor ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:24, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Coordinates
[edit]I believe the given coordinates are incorrect. I think the fusion reactor is here: 32.902251, -117.228856. — ★Parsa ☞ talk 03:44, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

[edit]DIII-D is not a fusion reactor.
It is a tokamak used to investigate how to best build a fusion reactor.
The page should be moved to DIII-D (tokamak). — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmiliaWiki (talk • contribs) 13:05, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Done. I agree with this and I've performed the move. -- AquaDTRS (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

DIII-D (tokamak) → DIII-D – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. GZWDer (talk) 18:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Google and views[] doesn't suggest this is the primary topic so the base name should be retargeted to DIII. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
"The plasma is created by applying a voltage to generate a large electrical current"
[edit]this was added in this edit seven years ago.
it's unsourced and completely bogus.
i would just remove it.
"applying a voltage" would entail inserting electrodes into the plasma, which is not what any design does, instead current is induced by applying a magnetic field.
the best reference i found so far is Tokamak - First tokamaks or Tokamak - Ohmic heating ~ inductive mode , but that also does not reference sources.
(in general this seems to highlight a problem with more specific articles repeating more general information in lots of places, each time requiring individual verification, it might be much more appropriate to just refer to Tokamak

DIII-D (tokamak) → DIII-D – Initially I moved this article to the title DIII-D after a G6 request was made, as the title was an unnecessary parenthesis. This move was contested on my talk page so I am moving it back for a full RM per request. There is a clear primary topic for DIII-D as only one thing is referred to by this title. As such, there is no need for a disambiguating parenthesis per WP:CONCISE. The previous RM above's single vote was a no, but was based upon the fact that DIII-D was not the primary topic at DIII. Whilst correct, this is meaningless as the requested title is not DIII but DIII-D, which is distinctly a different title. CoconutOctopus talk 22:50, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Courtesy ping to @Conifer: who requested the G6 and move initially, and to @Crouch, Swale: who contested it. CoconutOctopus talk 22:52, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Support actually it does appear that this is the only use. Crouch, Swale (talk) 23:17, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks CoconutOctopus for opening this move discussion. Support per rationale above. Conifer (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
