- Summary:
- The STARFIRE burn cycle differs substantially from pulsed reactor burn cycles. The startup and shutdown periods are considerably longer, and the power supply requirements considerably smaller, than for pulsed operation. Plasma initiation is accomplished with electron cyclotron resonance heating, to eliminate the problems of high voltage coils. During the main burn the plasma is thermally stabilized by the addition of trace quantities of iodine, which serve to radiate most of the alpha heating energy. The burn cycle is compatible with lower hybrid current drive operation.
