Abstract
Steady state tokamak equilibria without current drive are found. This is made possible by including the potato bootstrap current close to th e magnetic axis. Tokamaks with this class of equilibria do not need se ed current or current drive, and are intrinsically steady state. [S003 1-9007(97)04364-0].
