Various private investors have recently shown their interest into nuclear fusion as a source of clean energy. One of the most challenging project is SPARC, a DT tokamak under development by Commonwealth Fusion Systems in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and contribution from investors among which the Italian ENI. The SPARC [1] tokamak is at present under design and...

Diagnostics Design for Fusion Reactors
M. Walsh and ITER Team
ITER Organization, CS 90 046, F-13067 Saint Paul Lez Durance Cedex, FranceUnderstanding of the operation of fusion reactor systems is of crucial importance for the development of economical fusion power. Currently, ITER is the world’s largest magnetic fusion device. It will operate with a plasma current of 15MA and produce 500MW...

The preparation of the T-15MD tokamak for the first experiments has been almost completed now. The main parameters of T-15MD are: R = 1.48 m, a = 0.67 m, B = 2.0 T, Ipl = 2.0 MA. Scientific objectives of the T-15MD are: investigation of the particle and energy transport in the ITER-like plasma configuration; disruption mitigation system development; plasma turbulence investigations; plasma...

Equations of Stokes vector formalism or the technique of angular variables are usually used to analyze the evolution of the electromagnetic wave polarization state in a tokamak plasma. Both approaches assume that plasma is a weakly anisotropic and smoothly inhomogeneous media. The description of polarization changes for the plasma that does not meet these assumptions (e.g. in the region of...
