OSTI ID:5296050
A conceptual design of an ignition test fusion reactor (ITR) under development at General Atomic Company is presented. The doublet shaped plasma major radius is 3.8 meters with an aspect ratio of 3.45 and a height-to-width ratio of 2.7. Operation is cyclic with a 30 second burn time and a 0.1 duty factor. The device has an expected life of 10 years with 2 x 10/sup 5/ burns to prove ignition capability and study plasma performance. The basic components making up the ITR are presented with the design bases used to select the configurations and arrangements. Remote access and handling are discussed extensively as they affect the design and placement of components. Areas receiving the most attention are the plasma chamber, shield (inboard and outboard), and neutral beam injector installation. Conclusions are drawn on the work performed and areas where additional work is necessary are identified.
