Low Power High Wall Loading Tokamak Reactor

A summary of a recent design effort for a high wall loading, low power, compact tokamak reactor is presented. The design employs a bean-shaped plasma to reach the second stability regime, where high beta values are attainable. A point design was chosen based on a parameteric survey that was conducted using the Tokamak Systems Code (TSC). The most important parts of that survey are presented here. Investigation of different plasma confinement scaling laws shows that the chosen point design has a reasonable ignition margin.
