TL;DR:<p>- the 2nd stage with passive graphite divertor tiles ready to fire up plasma tests again<p>- now temperatures of 70m centigrade for the ions possible, vs. 10m for the 1st stage tests<p>- operation of up to 10 sec next<p>- 3rd stage planned for 2 years after is supposed to prove operation for up to 30 sec
