Particle balance has been studied self-consistently for a TFTR supershot during a relatively steady-state phase of the neutral beam injection. The TRANSP analysis code was used to model plasma parameters within the last closed flux surface, deriving time-dependent plasma profiles from measurements. The poloidal flux surfaces were obtained from TRANSP and an equivalent-filament analysis code. The edge plasma and recycling were modeled using the combined B2/DEGAS code with boundary conditions from the TRANSP modeling. The edge and scrape-off modeling results are compared with measurements of the D{alpha} emission and temperature increases in the inner limiter.
