Download or read book A Non-inductively Driven Steady State Tokamak Reactor written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physics and engineering guidelines for the ITER device are shown to lead to viable and attractive operating points for a steady state tokamak power reactor. Non-inductive current drive is provided in steady state by high energy neutral beam injection in the plasma core, lower hybrid slow waves in the outer regions of the plasma and bootstrap current. Plasma gain Q (/equivalent to/fusion power/input power) in excess of 20 and average neutron wall loading, GAMMA approx. 2.0 MW/m2 are predicted in a device with major radius, R0 = 7.5 m and minor radius, a = 2.8 m. 15 refs., 3 figs., 3 tabs.
