Equilibrium field coil considerations for tokamak reactors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6712374
Results of studies of the equilibrium field coil system for a variety of tokamak fusion reactor configurations are presented. These results include the determination of the EF coil currents, sizes, Ampere-turns, and stored energies for various reactor sizes, toroidal fields, plasma shapes, and plasma parameters. Problems are found with highly D-shaped plasmas and with high toroidal fields for smaller reactors. A simple expression, which adequately matches the wide range of cases considered, is also given for the stored energy.
