Physical Design Considerations of the Next Tokamak Fusion Reactor. Parameter Survey of the Device Size

摘要

Wide range of parameter surveys on the next device to JT-60 are made. Various physical and engineering requirements are taken into account, e.g., self-ignition, available maximum beta value, total fusion power, neutron wall loading, alpha -particle confinement, heat flux to divertor plate, structural restriction on aspect ratio, device size, maximum toroidal magnetic field and so on. Since the energy confinement scaling law has ambiguities, emphases are placed on the methodology to determine the plasma and device parameters realizing the various objectives of the next device.
