Abstract

A beam of energetic D0 atoms can be injected into a thermonuclear reactor plasma for heating, fuelling or current drive. A computer code has been written to determine the penetration of the D0 beam into a steady-state tokamak Engineering Test Reactor (ETR) such as the proposed International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The code includes multistep processes, and uses a combination of experimental and theoretical cross sections and scalings for the relevant atomic processes. © 1989.
