The Big Dee device will be the first major tokamak to incorporate both divertor and pump limiter particle control techniques. The Big Dee is an upgrade of the Doublet III facility designed to reach reactor grade plasma parameters. The device, presently under construction, is designed to operate at plasma current of Ip ≤ 5 MA (3.5 MA if diverted), input power of 20 MW and pulse duration of several seconds with either divertor or pump limiters. The diverted plasmas have a nominal major radius of 167 cm, minor radius of 55 cm, and elongation of 2. The pump limiters have a radial stroke of 50 cm and are compatible with a variety of plasma cross-sections from full size highly elongated dee-shaped plasmas (R0 = 167 cm, a = 67 cm, k = 2) to circular plasmas of reduced minor and major radii.
