Operating point selection and burn stability control for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
Description
The selection and burn stability control of near-ignited operating points for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) are considered. It is suggested that high density (n ∼ 6-10 keV) operating points are preferred from considerations of proximity to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability limits, divertor operation, and fueling even though those points are intrinsically thermally unstable. Results from simple 0-D transport simulations suggest that these operating points can be effectively stabilized at Q > 50 if neutral beam feedback based on total neutron flux measurements is employed. 10 refs., 4 figs
