Ripple reduction poloidal field coils for tokamaks

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5923081
Ripple reduction poloidal field coils consisting of dipole coils placed above and below the tokamak plasma, are designed to produce the vertical field needed for plasma equilibrium and, at the same time, to reduce magnetic ripple from the discrete toroidal field coils. A design is presented which reduces ripple by an order of magnitude near the midplane of an eight TF coil tokamak fusion reactor.
