Challenges facing high-field tokamaks

Manheiner talks about the challenges of high-field tokamaks. The high magnetic field certainly does shrink the fusion device's plasma volume, but high magnetic field is a double-edged sword. Disadvantages include increased pressure on the field coils and increased neutron wall loading. For him,...

description Manheiner talks about the challenges of high-field tokamaks. The high magnetic field certainly does shrink the fusion device's plasma volume, but high magnetic field is a double-edged sword. Disadvantages include increased pressure on the field coils and increased neutron wall loading. For him, the most important advantage of using high-temperature superconductors (HTS), whether at 5 T or 10 T, is a point Kramer mentions in passing at the end.
