Summary
Supershot profiles were used to simulate plasmas in a neutral-beam driven tokamak reactor designed to achieve fusion energy production with Q ≈ 2-3. Profiles from a TFTR supershot were scaled to larger radii, density, and electron temperature. The TRANSP code was used to calculate performance of these plasmas. Examples are given of steady-state plasmas with large beam-driven bootstrap currents. The required energy transport rate is comparable to that in TFTR, but the particle transport rate must be less. The PEST code indicates that the plasmas would be MHD stable if the central q{sub Ψ} can be controlled. 8 refs., 13 figs., 4 tabs.
