Tokamak Components

The  principal component of a Tokamak are:

• Superconducting Magnets - toroidal; poloidal and solenoidal.
• Vacuum Vessel - containing plasma
• First Wall - facing plasma
• Blanket - absorbing the heat from plasma and breeding tritium
• Divertor - exhausting plasma at the end of confinement period
• Radio Frequency Antenna - providing heating for plasma
• Cryostat - helium cooling to maintain superconductivity

Details of certain tokamak components are given in the pages:

• Breeder Blanket
• Divertor and Limiter
• Superconducting Magnets
