This book reviews recent progress in our understanding of tokamak
physics related to steady state operation, and addresses the
scientific feasibility of a steady state tokamak fusion power
system. It covers the physical principles behind continuous tokamak
operation and details the challenges remaining and new lines of
research towards the realization of such a system. Following a
short introduction to tokamak physics and the fundamentals of
steady state operation, later chapters cover parallel and
perpendicular transport in tokamaks, MHD instabilities in advanced
tokamak regimes, control issues, and SOL and divertor plasmas. A
final chapter reviews key enabling technologies for steady state
reactors, including negative ion source and NBI systems, Gyrotron
and ECRF systems, superconductor and magnet systems, and structural
materials for reactors. The tokamak has demonstrated an excellent
plasma confinement capability with its symmetry, but has an
intrinsic drawback with its pulsed operation with inductive
operation. Efforts have been made over the last 20 years to realize
steady state operation, most promisingly utilizing bootstrap
current. Frontiers in Fusion Research II: Introduction to Modern
Tokamak Physics will be of interest to graduate students and
researchers involved in all aspects of tokamak science and
technology.

Frontiers in Fusion Research provides a systematic overview of the
latest physical principles of fusion and plasma confinement. It is
primarily devoted to the principle of magnetic plasma confinement,
that has been systematized through 50 years of fusion research.
Frontiers in Fusion Research begins with an introduction to the
study of plasma, discussing the astronomical birth of hydrogen
energy and the beginnings of human attempts to harness the Sun's
energy for use on Earth. It moves on to chapters that cover a
variety of topics such as: * charged particle motion, * plasma
kinetic theory, * wave dynamics, * force equilibrium, and * plasma
turbulence. The final part of the book describes the
characteristics of fusion as a source of energy and examines the
current status of this particular field of research. Anyone with a
grasp of basic quantum and analytical mechanics, especially
physicists and researchers from a range of different backgrounds,
may find Frontiers in Fusion Research an interesting and
informative guide to the physics of magnetic confinement.
