A hybrid directional probe method both “thermal and Langmuir probe” was applied for fast ion measurements in the compact helical system. In order to obtain absolute values of fast ion density and power density, a calibration of the probe was performed using neutral hydrogen beam and a mixture beam of hydrogen and proton, of which beam current and energy were controlled. The conversion factor from temperature increase of the probe head to local power density and secondary electron emission yield was obtained. The density of fast ions was obtained by directional thermal probe (DTP) method inside the last closed flux surface, and the density ratio was nFastIon/nBulkPlasma = 2.7 × 10-3 at r/a = 0.9. The observation of the directional Langmuir probe (DLP) method is consistent with the DTP results.

Using a system analysis code, plasma parameter ranges required for a Tokamak reactor to generate net electric power (Penet) were investigated. The investigation revealed that in order for a Tokamak to produce a net electric power of 0 MW under foreseeable engineering conditions, it is required to achieve simultaneously the following ranges of parameters, i.e., normalized beta value 1.2 ≤ βN ≤ 2.7, confinement improvement factor for H-mode scaling 0.8 ≤ HH, and the ratio of Greenwald density limit 0.4 ≤ fnGW ≤ 1.1, for a major radius R ≤ 8.5 m. It also revealed that a reactor to produce a net electric power of 1,000 MW requires the simultaneous achievement of βN ≥ 3.0, HH ≥ 0.9 and fnGW ≥ 0.9.
