Long-pulse Ignited Test Experiment (LITE): An alternate for TFTR upgrade
Abstract
By using high performance resistive magnets it is possible to design a relatively compact Tokamak which could achieve ignition, provide long pulse operation with Q sub p 5 and advance fusion engineering. This device could be built at the TFTR site at relatively moderate cost. Illustrative features for this type of device, referred to as LITE for long-pulse ignited test experiment, are described. Forced flow liquid nitrogen cooling at constant temperature is used to minimize the TF magnet power requirements. Illustrative parameters are a major radius of 2.7 m, a maximum magnetic field on axis of 8.8 T, and an average beta of 0.044.
