What the current evidence supports
Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-05
Use TORAX for supervised simulation and control research; defer reliance on it for autonomous SPARC operation.
- Why
- It has demonstrated research utility and limited numerical agreement. Reliable SPARC control under real disturbances and heat loads remains unproven in the inspected evidence.
- Next
- Pin the version and physics configuration, validate against relevant discharge data and independent simulations, and require repeated device-level control tests before operational use.
Constraints
Blockers
- Independent SPARC plasma-control results are not established by the available tests.
- Existing independent benchmarks cover restricted simulation scenarios and do not certify TORAX 1.4.3.
- Reactor-performance predictions remain sensitive to transport, pedestal and density assumptions.
- TORAX is supplied without official Google product support.
