Abstract
The problems of volumetric neutron source (VNS) creation on a tokamak base with moderate to high aspect ratio (A = 3-4.5) and a multiturn no rmal conducting ('warm') toroidal field magnet system are discussed. T wo main variants are analysed: torus major radius R = 1.7m (inner radi ation shield thickness Delta(in) = 0.2m); R = 3m (Delta(in) = 0.7 m). Special attention has been given to the following: stationary current drive realization with beam energy 140-160 keV; the case of plasma dis ruption impact in comparison with ITER; some engineering aspects of VN S development including the divertor problem and choice of insulation, the TF system and vacuum vessel concept, facility assembling/disassem bling.
