Introduction

GOLEM is a tokamak operated by the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (FNSPE CTU). It was manufactured in the Soviet Union as TM-1 (“small tokamak no 1”) and was later moved to IPP Prague, serving as tokamak CASTOR for 30 years. Today it is primarily an educational device for domestic as well as for foreign students. It is called “the smallest tokamak with the biggest control room” because it can be controlled remotely via an internet interface.
