The most promising concept for deep fuelling a reactor is by the injection of compact toroid (CT) plasmoids. The first results showing CT fuelling of a tokamak plasma, without any adverse perturbation to the tokamak discharge, are reported. The Compact Toroid Fueller (CTF) device was used to inject a CT-spheromak plasmoid into the TdeV tokamak. Following the CT penetration, the tokamak particle inventory increased by 16%, the loop voltage and the plasma current did not change, and there was no increase in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity. The number of injected impurities was low and dominated by non-metallic elements. The plasma diamagnetic energy and the energy confinement time increased by more than 35% |
