Description

A low-shear Helias (helical advanced stellarator) configuration is studied with respect to its usefulness for a Helias reactor. Its equilibrium properties and its MHD stability properties, that is Mercier and resistive interchange criteria, local ballooning modes and global ideal MHD stability, are investigated using an extensive numerical code system. From the results a set of design values of the reactor plasma is derived. (orig.)
