“…studies, 7 which in turn is the same as that adopted for the ARIES-RS tokamak power plant study. 17 The ion and electron temperatures are assumed to be equal at the high densities appropriate for an ignited stellarator reactor. Figure 12 shows the radial profiles for density, temperature, and pressure for the reference case.…”

“…These reactors try to operate close to a maximum plasma pressure (β N limit) by optimizing plasma profiles. The design of ARIES-RS [40] is in between the two approaches, with β N = 4.8 and B max = 16 T. Table 3 shows a comparison of typical parameters of these reactors. In taking the high magnetic field approach, the stress in the magnet becomes huge, and so the structural materials packing the coils must be thick.…”

An international joint project of fusion experimental reactor, the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), is reviewed in view of long-range fusion energy research and development (R&D). Its purpose, goal, evolution, and the present construction status are briefly reviewed. While the ITER is a core machine in the present stage, generation of electricity is a role of the next-step fusion demonstration power plant "DEMO." The status of designs and technology R&D for DEMO are also reviewed.

“…A power reactor concept with similar core plasma assumptions but more aggressive technical provisions, ARIES-I [74], was developed independently. Since then various concepts of a tokamak fusion power system have been developed on the basis of advanced tokamak scenarios with high bootstrap current and high confinement performance; namely A-SSTR [75], ARIES-RS [76], CREST [77]. The SSTR design was made with strong involvement of industries [78].…”

Providing a historical overview of 50 years of fusion research, a review of the fundamentals and concepts of fusion and research efforts towards the implementation of a steady state tokamak reactor is presented. In 1990, a steady-state tokamak reactor (SSTR) best utilizing the bootstrap current was developed. Since then, significant efforts have been made in major tokamaks, including JT-60U, exploring advanced regimes relevant to the steady state operation of tokamaks. In this paper, the fundamentals of fusion and plasma confinement, and the concepts and research on current drive and MHD stability of advanced tokamaks towards realization of a steady-state tokamak reactor are reviewed, with an emphasis on the contributions of the JAEA. Finally, a view of fusion energy utilization in the 21st century is introduced.
