Prospect of Spherical Tokamak towards a Power Reactor -Challenge towards the Lowest Aspect Ratio Tokamak- 5. Can We Obtain the Realistic Power Reactor in the ST Approach? 5.5 Low Aspect Ratio Tokamak Reactor in View of Public Acceptance

Abstract

Reduced weight of a compact tokamak reactor with low aspect ratio leads to significant advantages in terms of waste and life cycle. This suggests that such a low aspect ratio reactor holds great potential for inspiring the public acceptance of fusion energy in the future energy market.
