Heating and current drive in STEP: why neutral beam injection is not desirable
Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is the UK’s prototype fusion power plant programme aiming to demonstrate net electrical output from a spherical tokamak. The plasma scenarios require a completely non-inductive current drive for the flat-top and the majority of the ramp-up/down phases....
