The HT-6M is a medium-sized tokamak being built in China. The principal aim of the project is to study high-power auxiliary heating (1-MW neutral beam injection, 1-MW ion cyclotron resonance heating, and 100-kW electron cyclotron resonance heating), high-..beta.. experiments, the transport process, and the formation and diffusion process of impurities. The main device parameters are: major plasma radius R = 65 cm, minor plasma radius a = 20 cm, plasma current I/subP/ = 150 kA, discharge time tau = 150 ms, toroidal field B/subT/ = 15 kG. Simplicity of construction, accessibility to the plasma, reliability in operation, and convenience for maintenance were particularly emphasized in the design. The important design features of the device and power supply system are described.
