Conceptual design study for the ORMAK-F/BX facility

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4415739
From 5th symposium on engincering problems of fusion research; Princeton, New Jersey, USA (6 Nov 1973). Consideration is being given in the U S. to a large, injectionheated tokamak that could attain the zero-power Lawson criterion with H plasma in the late 1970's. The facility would be designed for subsequent replacement of some internal components and addition of shielding and containment to permit D-T burning experiments. An 8-manyear conceptual design study is to be accomplished in FY-1974 at Oak Ridge; this project is called ORMAK- F/BX for Oak Ridge Tokamak Feasibility and Burning Experiments. The F/BX reference design is now evolving. Conservative projections of plasma behavior indicate that the toroidal field coils must be about 5-meter bore diameter. Superconducting NbTi has been chosen for the TF coil windings and the plasma driving system will use an iron core and return yokes. (auth)
