Commercial tokamak reactors with resistive toroidal field magnets

摘要: Scaling relations and design concepts are developed for commercial tokamak reactors that use watercooled copper toroidal field (TF) magnets. Illustrative parameters scaled up in size from LITE test reactor designs, which quasi-continuous plate Acceptably low magnet power requirements may be attainable a moderate beta (..beta.. = 0.065) with major radius of 6.2 m. The shielding thickness substantially reduced relative to values superconducting Operation at high 0.14) leads reduction size, magnet-stored energy, recirculating power. Reactors using resistive TF magnets could provide advantages physically smaller devices, improved maintenance features, increased ruggedness reliability.
