In order to evaluate means of enhancing alpha confinement, the Monte Carlo particle code MCFRM has been modified to represent EBTR (Elmo Bumpy Torus Reactor) geometry. The use of this transport code will serve as a stochastic check to the confinement calculations presented in the ebtr design study as well as introducing slowing-down dynamics into the problem of retaining fusion product energy. The modified version of MCFRM, renamed MCEBTR (Monte Carlo Elmo Bumpy Torus Reactor), tracks individual alpha particle trajectories in representative EBTR magnetic geometries. This paper deals in greater detail with the numerical modelling of MCEBTR and the initial results derived from it.
