Abstract :
The Korean DEMO program is pursuing a steady state tokamak configuration to develop a fusion energy producing facility. Systems analysis is performed to determine its geometry and operating space available. After the plasma major radius and elongation is chosen, and the maximum toroidal magnetic field at the coil is established, the operating space can be explored with a range of assumptions. A database approach for the systems analysis is used that generates a large number of solutions, that can be used to examine sensitivities and parameter uncertainties.
