How does the use of HTS magnets in the STEP project address previous limitations in tokamak reactor design?

The use of HTS magnets in fusion reactors addresses the challenge of creating sufficiently powerful and compact magnetic fields to contain and manipulate plasma at extremely high temperatures. This innovation reduces the size and cost of fusion reactors, making the technology more accessible and potentially accelerating its development. This approach contrasts with previous tokamak designs that required massive, expensive magnets and cooling systems.
