Abstract :
The Steady State Tokamak (SST-1) program is overviewed. The physics objectives of SST-1 are two-fold: firstly, to operate highly shaped, double-null diverted plasmas with non-inductive current-drive, with advanced confinement modes; and secondly, achievement of good performance in a steady-state operation. Technology objectives of SST-1 are to learn and get expertise in high technology areas like superconducting magnets, high heat-flux components, cryogenics, neutral beam injection and high power RF-systems. Present status of the various systems is discussed
