TL;DR: During tangential neutral beam injection into the PBX tokamak, bursts of two types of instabilities are observed, indicating that beam ions are removed from the center of the plasma by the instabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured 3He and triton burn-up is consistent with predictions based on classical theories of ion confinement and slowing down in discharges with weaker toroidal fields but constant plasma current.

TL;DR: The TFTR tokamak has reached its original machine design specifications (Ip=2.5 MA and BT=5.2 T) by operating at low plasma current and low density (ne approximately=1*1019 m-3), high ion temperatures (9+or2 keV) and rotation speeds (7*105 m/s) have been achieved during injection.

TL;DR: Experiments with plasmas having nearly equal concentrations of deuterium and tritium have been carried out on TFTR as mentioned in this paper and the maximum fusion power has been 107 MW, using 395 MW of neutral beam heating, in a supershot discharge and 67 MW in a high beta P discharge following a current ramp-down.

TL;DR: In this article, a particle scoop limiter with a graphite face backed by a 50 liter volume for collecting particles was used in PDX, and experiments were performed to test its particle control and power handling capabilities with up to 5 MW of D° power injected into D+ plasmas.
