Feedback stabilization of the resistive shell mode in a tokamak fusion reactor
Stabilization of the ‘‘resistive shell mode’’ is vital to the success of the ‘‘advanced tokamak’’ concept. The most promising reactor relevant approach is to apply external feedback using, for instance, the previously proposed ‘‘fake rotating shell’’ scheme @R. Fitzpatrick and T. H. Jensen, Phys. Plasmas 3, 2641 ~1996!#. This scheme, like other simple feedback schemes, only works if the feedbac...
متن کاملA Tokamak Reactor with Lithium Walls
Background: A recently discovered mechanism of magnetic propulsion of a liquid metal in the toroidal magnetic eld of tokamaks (December of 1998) enables intense stationary liquid lithium (Li) streams covering the plasma facing surface of the vacuum chamber. There are several attractive properties of such a regime. These are presented, together with the possible issues, experimental foundations ...
متن کاملA Steady - State L - Mode Tokamak Fusion Reactor : Large Scale and Minimum Scale
We perform extensive analysis on the physics of L-mode tokamak fusion reactors to identify (1) a favorable parameter space for a large scale steady-state reactor and (2) an operating point for a minimum scale steady-state reactor. The identification of the large scale parameter space is part of the 2008 MIT Nuclear Systems Design Project, which also includes sustainability and economic optimiza...
متن کاملTPOP-II: Tritium Fueling at a Reactor Scale
As part of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) plasma fueling development program, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has fabri injection system to test the mechanical and thermal properties of extruded tritium repeating single-stage pneumatic pellet injector, called the Tritium-Proof-of-Principle Phase II (TPOP-II) Pellet Injector, has a piston-driven mechanical extru...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of Tokamak Reactor Designs
The long-term interest in nuclear fusion using tokamaks has yielded many published reactor designs. This study performs the first meta-analysis of tokamak reactor designs in an attempt to unveil new understanding not available in the traditional bottom-up method of looking at each design individually. Forty tokamak designs intended to produce significant fusion power at gains above one were ide...
