The overall INTOR size and magnetic field parameters have been established as part of the INTOR transport modelling program. These studies, based on the presently accepted transport coefficients, have established the INTOR ignition margin and overall INTOR performance. Divertor modelling studies have focused on the performance of the INTOR poloidal field divertor. These studies have shown that the neutrals are confined to the divertor channel, thereby limiting the charge exchange erosion of the first wall. The strong cooling produced by the neutrals reduces the ion temperature in the divertor. The impurities eroded from the divertor plate have a low probability of entering the main discharge.
