Abstract
TORE SUPRA has been designed to study long pulse plasmas (t > 30 s) at high plasma current (Ip < 2 MA) associated with high additional power (20 MW). Current diffusion studies are essentially based on the analysis of the plasma discharge paths. The current diffusion rate during the current rise phase is analysed with a numerical code using plasma resistivity profiles from Te profiles measured by the ECE diagnostic. Owing to the fact that the quantity of magnetic flux available in a tokamak is limited, perfect knowledge is required of the various components of the flux consumed in order to minimize consumption and to be able to define a suitable transformer size for future high current tokamak projects.
