  • Abstract
    FIRE is a high-field, burning-plasma tokamak that is being studied as a possible option for future fusion research. Preliminary parameters for this machine are R0=2 m, a=0.5 m, B0=10 T, and Ip=6 MA. Magnetic field coils are to be made of copper and pre-cooled with LN2 before each shot. The flat-top pulse length desired is ⩾10 s. Ion cyclotron and lower hybrid rf systems will be used for heating and current drive. Present specifications call for 30 MW of ion cyclotron heating power, with 25 MW of lower hybrid power as an upgrade option
