Abstract :
General plasma system requirements for the U.S. Demo fusion power plant have been identified, taking into account factors of economics, operability and reliability required extrapolations from the present plasma performance database have been assessed for the Demo options in five areas of tokamak operation, namely, stability, current drive, energy confinement, heat exhaust, and ash removal, for which figures of merit have been identified
