Abstract

A study of the interaction between the physics of ignition and the engineering constraints in the design of compact, high-field tokamak ignition demonstration devices is presented. The studies investigate the effects the various electron and ion thermal diffusivities, which result from the many tokamak scaling laws, have on the design parameters of an ignition device and show the feasibility of building and igniting a compact tokamak (R < 1m). The relevant machine technology is discussed.
