Engineering aspects of a steady state tokamak reactor (SSTR)

Abstract A steady-state tokamak power reactor based on a bootstrap current drive is an engineering feasibility. This paper describes the basic engineering design philosophies and aspects of the steady-state tokamak power reactor. The most important conclusion is that the steady-state tokamak power reactor design is based on a mere extension of the present technology. The electric-power-producing tokamak reactor can be scoped within our present engineering knowledge.
