Peng, Y. K.M.; Rome, J. A.

The ORNL TNS/PEPR studies have the objectives of (1) leading to a system that demonstrates the fusion reactor core in the mid-to-late 1980's and extrapolates to an economic tokamak power reactor, and (2) providing a near-term focus for the scientific and technological programs toward the power reactor. This discussion of the overall heating requirements for the ORNL TNS/PEPR is concerned with the neutral beams as the primary heating method, the electron-cyclotron resonance (ECR) heating at a lower power level for profile control, and the upper hybrid resonance (UHR) initiation and preheating of currentless plasmas to reduce current start-up loop voltage (V/sub l/) requirements.
