Abstract
The possibility that a small, steady state spherical tokamak can provide the fusion conditions
necessary for components testing is explored. Such a device would operate in parallel with DEMO, complementing and extending the anticipated database from IFMIF, and helping to reduce the risk of delay during this crucial phase of fusion power development. The paper primarily addresses the plasma physics and neutronics issues, to explore the feasibility of such a spherical tokamak design, and also discusses certain aspects of the engineering design
