Abstract :
The advanced tokamak capability of the FIRE burning plasma experiment is examined with 0D systems analysis, equilibrium and ideal MHD stability, RF current drive analysis, and full discharge dynamic simulations. These analyses have identified the required parameters for attractive burning AT plasmas, and indicate that these are feasible with the present progress on existing experimental tokamaks.
