Status of the Tokamak Physics Experiment

Fusion Technology, 1995
The Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) is planned to develop the scientific basis for an economically competitive and continuously operating tokamak fusion power source. It has been designed to have steady-state operating capability, sufficient performance to produce reactor-like plasma configurations, and a flexible set of steady-state plasma controls ...

Evolution and Physics of the Tokamak

2011
In the exploration of space, the launching of Sputnik proved the possibility of sending an object into orbit around the earth. Subsequent development of spacecraft led to the landing of man on the moon with Apollo 11, followed by construction of the space station, serviced by shuttles that could re-enter the atmosphere repeatedly. In the development of

Physics of near-wall plasma in tokamaks

Uspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 1987
The review describes modern achievements of the physics of plasma—wall interactions in tokamaks. The main methods allowing a reduction of the energy of the particles incident on the first wall and, thus, important for the prevention of wall erosion, are described in an easily understandable form. The conditions required for the formation of strong near-

Industry roles in the Tokamak physics experiment

Journal of Fusion Energy, 1994
There are several distinguishing features of the Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) to be found in the TPX program and in the organizations for constructing and operating the machine. Programmatically, TPX addresses several issues critical to the viability of magnetic fusion power plants.

Physics of the steady-state advanced tokamak

Physics of Plasmas, 1996
The tokamak reactor becomes a more attractive fusion power source if it can operate in steady state, and at high fusion power density, with low recirculating power. This implies that a ‘‘steady-state advanced tokamak’’ must achieve both high beta and high confinement, consistent with a high fraction of the total plasma current being carried by the ...

Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) design

Proceedings of 16th International Symposium on Fusion Engineering, 2002
TPX is a national project involving a large number of U.S. fusion laboratories, universities, and industries. The element of the TPX requirements that is a primary driver for the hardware design is the fact that TPX tokamak hardware is being designed to accommodate steady state operation if the external systems are upgraded from the 1000 second initial

Is the Hartmann number relevant to tokamak physics?

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1994
Montgomery and Shan (1992, 1993) have argued that in calculating resistive MHD instability thresholds, both resistivity and viscosity play an equally important role and may significantly modify conventional views of resistive MHD. The author discusses these arguments and puts them in perspective in the context of tokamak physics.

Physical results of the T-10 tokamak

Plasma Physics Reports, 2001
The history of the T-10 tokamak and scientific results obtained over the last 15–20 years are reviewed. The following issues are discussed in detail: electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), the consistency of the electron temperature profiles, the density limit, the electron cyclotron current drive, suppression of sawtooth oscillations ...

Tokamak Physics Experiment divertor design

Proceedings of 16th International Symposium on Fusion Engineering, 2002
The Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX) tokamak requires a symmetric up/down double-null divertor capable of operation with steady-state heat flux as high as 7.5 MW/m/sup 2/. The divertor is designed to operate in the radiative mode and employs a deep slot configuration with gas puffing lines to enhance radiative divertor operation. Pumping is provided by
