Book Description
The Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) device is planned as the next major fusion device to be built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to demonstrate ignition operations of a burning plasma. Stringent engineering requirements have been imposed on this device by physics necessities of high margins against ignition and by cost constraints in minimizing the overall cost of the project. A compact design has been developed under these design conditions incorporating many unique design features, including a hydraulic preload system to provide a compression load to the toroidal field (TF) inner leg and using a high-strength copper-Inconel composite material in the design of the TF coil and the ohmic heating solenoid. The device is inertially cooled by liquid nitrogen, and the vacuum vessel, coils, and supporting structure are contained in a thermally insulated cryostat. A close-in igloo shield surrounds the device to provide the capability for hands-on access within the test cell and also to minimize activation. Even with the compact nature of this device, there still remains the basic requirement of maximizing access to the plasma for diagnostics and heating components; access for electrical leads and coolant lines; and access to provide the capability of remotely maintaining all diagnostic and peripheral equipment that interfaces with the device. This paper describes the configurational development that has taken place during the conceptual design period of the CIT project, highlighting the major design integration features used to develop a functional device that meets the physics and component design requirements. 1 ref., 7 figs.
