An initial identification of objectives and physical characteristics of a tokamak engineering test reactor is made, based upon the large body of work that has been devoted to the study of such devices over the past decade. The critical technical issues affecting the feasibility and the specification of design concept for a tokamak engineering test reactor are discussed.
