Uragan-2M (U-2M, ) is a stellarator (magnetic plasma confinement, controlled thermonuclear fusion experiment) installed at the Institute of Plasma Physics National Science Center, which is part of the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (IFS KIPT) in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It was the largest stellarator (torsatron) in Europe until the construction of Wendelstein 7-X.
Uragan-2M was under construction in 1990 and reported its first results in 1993.
Specifications Uragan-2M is a medium-sized stellarator with reduced helical corrugations. The unit has a torus radius of , a plasma radius of up to , and a toroidal magnetic field of up to .
