Compact Toroid Injection Fueling in a Large Field-Reversed Configuration
May 2017 | T. Asai | Nuclear Fusion | Paper
A repetitively driven compact toroid (CT) injector has been developed for the large eld- reversed con guration (FRC) facility of the C-2/C-2U, primarily for particle refueling. A CT is formed and injected by a magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG) exclusively developed for the C-2/C-2U FRC.
