Design review of the TEXT Fusion Plasma Research Facility
Abstract
The TEXT Tokamak Fusion Plasma Research Facility at the University of Texas at Austin is intended to provide a hot well-confined plasma suitable for studies of atomic physics, diagnostics development, heating processes, and transport. Operation is scheduled to begin in 1980. Topics discussed in the design review include design considerations, overall design features, the toroidal field system, the ohmic heating, vertical, and horizontal field systems, the fast positioning cells, the torus and pumping system, the data acquisition system, and the laboratory area.
