Abstract. The modification of JT-60U to a large and fully superconducting
tokamak (JT-60SC) is proposed to demonstrate the high beta operation of the
reactor relevant steady-state plasma and the applicability of the low
activation ferritic steel characterized by a ferromagnetic property to
plasma confinement devices. In order to improve economic and environmental
suitability of tokamak fusion reactors, crucially important are the
accomplishment of low circulating power operation in accord with a high
pressure plasma and the establishment of utilization technology of low
radio-activation materials to minimize the influence of radioactive waste to
the environment. The JT-60SC device is designed to implement the
steady-state research in a high performance plasma regime of a break-even
class for a long duration (
100 s or longer) sufficiently
exceeding a current diffusion time. Physics and engineering design of
JT-60SC is presented to address the issues of high beta plasma control,
steady state plasma control and divertor heat & particle control with high
performance steady-state plasmas non-dimensionally similar to the future
reactor plasma and surrounded by ferritic steel.
