Abstract
Routine tritium operation in TFTR has permitted investigations of alph a particle physics in parameter ranges resembling those of a reactor c ore. ICRF wave physics in a DT plasma and the influence of isotopic ma ss on supershot confinement have also been studied. Continued progress has been made in optimizing fusion power production in TFTR, using ex tended machine capability and Li wall conditioning. Performance is cur rently limited by MHD stability. A new reversed magnetic shear regime is being investigated with reduced core transport and a higher predict ed stability limit.
