From international meeting on the technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments and the engineering aspects of fusion reactors; Austin, Texas, USA (20 Nov 1972). In technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments and the engineering aspects of fusion reactors. The equations required to study the dependence of the steadystate operating conditions in a Tokamak-like CTR plasma on various system parameters are solved. Particle diffusion is explicitly represented by neoclassical theory, and BETA /sub p/, the ratio of plasma pressure to poloidal magnetic-field pressure, is limited to a maximum value of A/ sup 1/2/, where A is the aspect ratio. The particleand energy-balance equations are solved self-consistently with the confinement-time equation and the constraint equation on plasma pressure. The dependence of the plasma operating parameters on enhanced bremsstrahlung radiation losses and enhanced diffusional losses is studied. A viable Tokamak-like CTR plasma is suggested consistent with parametric study. (auth)
