In view of the anticipated needs of the U. S. CTR program in the late 1970's, consideration is being given to a large, flexible tokamak facility. This facilit gamma would be used first for experiments with H plasma to demonstrate the scientific feasibility of fusion in an injection-heated tokamak. Then, parts of the device would be modified as necessary, and planned shielding and containment features would be added to permit D-- T burning experiments. A 10- manyear conceptual design study of such a facility is to be accomplished in FY1974 by scientists and engineers at ORNL. The project is called ORMAK-F/BX for Oak Ridge Tokamak Feasibility and Burning Experiments. The initial estimates of system parameters, the questions to be addressed, and the organization for the studv are described. (auth)
