The tokamak (a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber surrounded by
magnetic coils) is the principal tool in controlled fusion
research. This book acts as an introduction to the subject and a
basic reference for theory, definitions, equations, and
experimental results. Since the first introductory account of
tokamaks in 1987, when the tokamak had become the predominant
device in the attempt to achieve a useful power source from
thermonuclear fusion, and the developments and advances in the
subject covered in the second edition in 1997, following
substantial research on large tokamaks (the long awaited
achievement of significant amounts of fusion power and the problems
involved in designing and building a tokamak reactor), the emphasis
has been on preparing the ground for an experimental reactor. In
addition, there have been further significant advances in
understanding plasma behaviour, such as the wider experience of
internal transport barriers, the appreciation of the role of
tearing models driven by neoclassical effects and insights from
turbulence simulations.
The fourth edition has been completely revised, bringing all
aspects up-to-date and describing the development of tokamaks to
the point of producing significant fusion power. It also now
addresses the issues relating to the design and future operation of
the international tokamak ITER.
