Abstract
A method for evaluating transport in nonsymmetric systems is developed and applied to a previously little studied ripple collisionality regime of tokamaks. This collisionality regime, the ripple plateau, is the regime of primary importance both for present day and reactor scale tokamaks. The results can be directly applied to related systems like the toroidal Z pinch.
