Abstract

With the use of a one-dimensional spatial-temporal numerical code under conditions of ambipolarity of neoclassical transport fluxes the regimes of the self-supported DT-fusion reaction in a reactor-stellarator are calculated. Cases of heating both ion and electron plasma components are considered. It is shown that powers of heating of plasma of scale 25 MW can be sufficient for excitation in reactor of the steady-state self-supported burning. Technical and physical parameters of such reactor correspond to characteristics of a demonstration reactor.
