Abstract
Reactor fuelling is one of the outstanding issues that remain to be resolved in the development of a tokamak fusion reactor. One of the most promising concepts of reactor fuelling is by the injection of high-speed compact toroids (CT). The Compact Toroid Fueller (CTF) will inject high-speed, dense Spheromak plasmoids into the Tokamak de Varennes (TdeV) to examine the feasibility of this approach as a fueller for future reactors. Compact Toroid (CT) formation and acceleration at the RACE device at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has shown that CT-plasmoid velocities sufficient for centre fuelling fusion reactors can be achieved using coaxial accelerators. The CTF injector will test theories on CT-tokamak interaction related to reactor fuelling. Among the questions to be addressed are the repetition-rate requirements for future injectors, the bootstrap current enhancement factor, CT fuel confinement times, impurity effects, plasma heating, injector electrical efficiency and gas load to the tokamak following CT injection.
