Abstract

The final hardware modifications for tritium operation have been compl eted for the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) [Fusion Technol. 21, 1 324 (1992)]. These activities include preparation of the tritium gas h andling system, installation of additional neutron shielding, conversi on of the toroidal field coil cooling system from water to a Fluoriner t(TM) system, modification of the vacuum system to handle tritium, pre paration, and testing of the neutral beam system for tritium operation and a final deuterium-deuterium (D-D) run to simulate expected deuter ium-tritium (D-T) operation. Testing of the tritium system with low co ncentration tritium has successfully begun. Simulation of trace and hi gh power D-T experiments using D-D have been performed. The physics ob jectives of D-T operation are production of almost-equal-to 10 MW of f usion power, evaluation of confinement, and heating in deuterium-triti um plasmas, evaluation of a-particle heating of electrons, and collect ive effects driven by alpha particles and testing of diagnostics for c onfined a particles. Experimental results and theoretical modeling in support of the D-T experiments are reviewed.
