Book Description
There are five principal aspects of the nuclear radiation from the high temperature plasmas of TFTR on its plasma diagnostic equipment. i) Important information about the plasma properties to be obtained from measurement of the neutrons, or other fusion reaction products. ii) Experimental studies to give design data for future tokamak devices and their instrumentation. iii) Transient noise or damage effects on the array of detectors for the collection of physics data about the plasma. iv) The effect of tritium on detectors that necessarily are in vacuum, directly connected to the tokamak vacuum vessel. v) Damage of diagnostic components mounted close to the vacuum vessel. Each of these topics will be addressed after a brief description of the TFTR tokamak and its radiation environment.

Book Description
The diagnostic instrumentation on TFTR (Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor) and the specific properties of each diagnostic, i.e., number of channels, time resolution, wavelength range, etc., are summarized in tables, grouped according to the plasma parameter measured. For comparison, the equivalent diagnostic capabilities of JET (Joint European Torus) and the Japanese large tokamak, JT-60, as of late 1987 are also listed in the tables. Extensive references are given to publications on each instrument.

Book Description
Tokamak Reactors for Breakeven: A Critical Study of the Near-Term Fusion Reactor Program presents all possible aspects concerning the Tokamak line of research. This book examines the many significant implications of fusion research programs. Organized into five parts encompassing 29 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the mechanisms of anomalous loss in existing machines. This text then examines the environmental problems related to the use of large quantities of tritium. Other chapters consider the technology of superconducting Tokamak magnets, which provides challenging tasks both for specific developments in laboratories and hardware construction in industry. This book discusses as well the established program goal of the fusion program to develop and demonstrate pure fusion central electric power stations for commercial applications. The final chapter deals with the two types of reactors, namely, the liquid metal fast breeder reactors (LMFBR) and the high temperature reactors (HTR). This book is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and technologists.

Engineering Considerations in the Selection of the Tokamak to Follow the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR).

Book Description
The tokamak to follow the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) should satisfy two important objectives. First, it should be a significant step in physics and engineering goals in order to maintain the level of progress which the US has established as the world leader in fusion energy development. The second objective should be to provide the information necessary to support the strategy and goals of the long-range Department of Energy (DOE) Fusion Program. In their Comprehensive Program Management Plan, the DOE identifies the need for a reactor technology program in the 1990s in which the major goal is to prove engineering feasibility. In this paper, the specific engineering needs are identified which have been developed through the tokamak design studies over the past decade. On the basis of these needs, it appears that several options are available for the next tokamak to follow TFTR. The final choice of the concept will involve consideration of the technical needs and the reality of the Fusion Program budget.
