The paper discusses the process behind fusion reaction, the magnetic confinement of plasma to sustain fusion reactions, different kinds of tokamaks used for the magnetic plasma confinement, the operation of tokamaks, and the control of tokamaks. Control of tokamaks concerns the basic functions of plasma initiation, shaping, heating, current drive, stabilization, and safe termination of charges.

Abstract

The paper discusses the process behind fusion reaction, the magnetic confinement of plasma to sustain fusion reactions, different kinds of tokamaks used for the magnetic plasma confinement, the operation of tokamaks, and the control of tokamaks. Control of tokamaks concerns the basic functions of plasma initiation, shaping, heating, current drive, stabilization, and safe termination of charges.
