This report presents the results of a U.S. review of the 1996 Detailed Design Report (DDR) of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project. It was prepared by a panel established by the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) and was subsequently endorsed by FESAC and provided to the USDOE. Copies of the charge and transmittal letters are incorporated at the end of this paper. Also incorporated in this paper are the reports of several subpanels established to provide detailed review and recommendations on specific topics. The authors of those subpanel reports are acknowledged in the text. The ITER was subsequently reduced in size and scope; this review refers to the full-size ITER design as it was completed in 1996.

Results from the Tandem Mirror Experiment-Upgrade (TMX-U) demonstrate that radial transport in the plasma volume can be affected by the boundary conditions at the end wall. Measurements in which end-wall plates, mapping to the plasma core, are switched from floating to grounded during plugging operation demonstrate that this floating increases the build-up rate of the central cell plasma (by increasing the radial confinement time), steepens the core density profile, and affects the plasma throughout the entire cross section.

For pt.I see ibid., vol.19, p.237 (1977). It is shown that the kinetic equation for a plasma situated in a magnetic field, of a strength such that the ion Larmor radius is larger than the electron Debye length, has the form of a Fokker Planck equation in which the diffusion and friction coefficients can be derived from 'Rosenbluth potentials' in the usual manner. These 'magnetic Rosenbluth potentials' are however anisotropic, even if the plasma distribution functions is isotropic, because the magnetic field alters the dynamics of ion-electron collisions, and significantly enhances the duration of interaction of ions and electrons with no relative motion parallel to the magnetic field. The potentials are evaluated explicitly in the case of Maxwellian electrons.

Equations are derived which may be used to describe the propagation of electromagnetic waves in non-uniform magnetized plasma when the wave frequency is near the second electron cyclotron harmonic. The method used is to expand the linearized Vlasov equation in powers of the electron Larmor radius divided by a typical scale length. The general equations are then specialized to the problem of the coupling of transverse waves to the longitudinal modes (Bernstein modes) which exist when all quantities vary only in a plane perpendicular to a straight magnetic field. The form of these equations for two simple models of the equilibrium plasma is given. Comments are made about the equations for the higher harmonics, and the question of boundary conditions is discussed. Finally, the general equations are examined in the limit Ω→0 in order to provide equations suitable for the description of high frequency waves in non-magnetized plasmas.
