Abstract :
The FIRE (Fusion Ignition Research Experiment) device is a compact copper magnet experiment to explore driven DT burning plasma operation. As part of the design study, the poloidal field requirements, self-consistent dynamic discharge evolutions, and the plasma vertical stability and control are examined. Reported here are the PF (poloidal field) coil locations and currents, and a full discharge simulation of the reference configuration. In addition, other configurations are briefly described, and vertical instability growth times and feedback control currents and voltages are given
