TL;DR: In this article, solid lithium and boron pellets have been injected into TFTR plasmas to improve plasma performance by coating the graphite inner wall bumper limiter with a small amount of lower Z pellet material, which reduces the influx of carbon from the walls and reduces the edge electron density.

TL;DR: A review of TFTR plasma transport studies is presented in this article, where parallel transport and the confinement of suprathermal ions are found to be relatively well described by theory and the underlying turbulence has been studied using microwave scattering, beam emission spectroscopy and microwave reflectometry over a much broader range in k perpendicular to than previously possible.

TL;DR: The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) has been operating safely and routinely with deuterium-tritium fuel for more than two years as discussed by the authors, achieving record breaking results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that plasmas of D-shaped, doublet, and rectangular cross-sections are stable at lower values of q than are available to elliptical plasms of the same shape factor.

TL;DR: In particular, the alpha particle loss rate per DT neutron at a given plasma current did not increase significantly with fusion power up to 10.7 MW, indicating the absence of any new 'collective' alpha particle losses processes in these experiments.
