Abstract

The state of research on controlled thermonuclear synthesis by means of tokamaktype units is discussed. Characteristics are presented for tokamak thermonuclear units in operation and under construction, including the INTOR demonstration fusion reactor. Problems associated with the development of individual fusion-reactor systems are considered: the electromagnetic system, the electric power-supply system, the vacuum tritium system, and the discharge chamber.
