Supra, E T

Tore Supra is a tokamak implemented on the site of CEN Cadarache by the EURATOM-CEA Association. The machine technology integrates all problems related to the fabrication and the operation of large cyrogenic superconducting coils and of the associated cryogenic system. Tore Supra will provide a significant experience to prepare the next generation of machines for controlled design. Tore Supra has been designed to implement a lage physics program that takes advantage of the capability of operation with plasma pulses in excess of 30 seconds. Operation started in April, with a toroidal field of 2 teslas. Discharges of 500 kA with a 3 second current flat top were obtained after a few days. Machine parameters will be raised to their nominal values ( B -- 4.5 Teslas and Ip -- 1.7 MA) during summer.
