Abstract

Alcator C-Mod is the high field, high density, divertor tokamak in the world fusion program.We describe in this paper some of the innovative engineering solutions required to produce a diverted tokamak capable of operation at the 8 T, 2 MA level.Some design details of the TF magnet, the OH coax, and power and cooling systems are discussed, as well as the instrumentation required to verify proper operation of these components.Vacuum, vessel bake, boronization, and wall cleaning systems are also discussed.
