An experimental study of the plasma during ohmic heating in the T-10 tokamak is reported. A stainless steel limiter was used, and the walls of the vacuum chamber were cleaned by a method aimed at effective removal of light impurities (carbon and oxygen). The data are compared with experimental data for limiters of other materials and with calculated results. The number of stable discharges is increased, but radiative losses continue to play a dominant role in the plasma energy balance.
