TORE SUPRA is a fairly large supra conducting Tokamak (R = 2.350 m and r = 0.800 m) and has an original goal to withstand a large power removal (25 MW) during a 30 second long pulse. The monitoring of the plasma density and of the particle balance will be partially controlled by the pump limiter system. Depending on the amount of convected plasma power on these limiter and of the upgrading of the total injected power, the limiters are designed to remove in excess of 8 MW at steady state. 3 refs., 4 figs.
