Abstract

The TFR program is a series of tokamak devices working in a wide range of toroǐdal magnetic fields (BT ≲ 60 kG). This field is produced by a set of oil-cooled Bitter coils powered by an alternator coupled to a fly-wheel. The experimental results obtained on TFR 400 the first version (plasma current 400 kA) are given, the scaling laws for the main parameters of the discharge and the power balance are discussed. The previous results obtained on TFR 600 an upgraded version (plasma current 600 kA) are also given and the TFR 604 (plasma current 600 kA, 4 MW neutral injection heating) is presented.
