Structural Design of High Field Tokamaks
Interest in high field non-superconducting tokamaks was strong after the US left the ITER project at the end of 1999. This class of tokamaks, including Alcator C-Mod, IGNITOR, and FIRE, has many challenging and interesting structural characteristics. Structural behavior of these tokamaks is discussed along with the special structural features employed to sustain the huge loads resulting from th...
متن کاملIntegrated Plasma Control for High Performance Tokamaks
Sustaining high performance in a tokamak requires controlling many equilibrium shape and profile characteristics simultaneously with high accuracy and reliability, while suppressing a variety of MHD instabilities. Integrated plasma control, the process of designing high-performance tokamak controllers based on validated system response models and confirming their performance in detailed simulat...
متن کاملChoice of coils for a fusion reactor.
In a fusion reactor a hot plasma of deuterium and tritium is confined by a strong magnetic field to produce helium ions and release energetic neutrons. The 3D geometry of a stellarator provides configurations for such a device that reduce net toroidal current that might lead to disruptions. We construct smooth coils generating an external magnetic field designed to prevent the plasma from deter...
متن کاملHigh-Gain High-Field Fusion Plasma
A Faraday wheel (FW)-an electric generator of constant electrical polarity that produces huge currents-could be implemented in an existing tokamak to study high-gain high-field (HGHF) fusion plasma, such as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). HGHF plasma can be realized in EAST by updating its pulsed-power system to compress plasma in two steps by induction fields; high ga...
متن کاملBiomagnetic effects: a consideration in fusion reactor development.
Fusion reactors will utilize powerful magnetic fields for the confinement and heating of plasma and for the diversion of impurities. Large dipole fields generated by the plasma current and the divertor and transformer coils will radiate outward for several hundred meters, resulting in magnetic fields up to 450 gauss in working areas. Since occupational personnel could be exposed to substantial ...
