The optimisation of the STEP electron cyclotron current drive concept
A fusion reactor based on the spherical tokamak is very likely to be completely non-inductive for the majority of the plasma ramp-up and steady-state phases, due to the limitations imposed on the central coil assemblies by the compact design. Efficiency gains from solenoid-driven current cannot be r...
