N2 - Recent studies of plasma transport and particle trajectories expected in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) have been used to assess plasma performance, to plan for experimental operations, and to make decisions on hardware design and allocation of resources. These studies include definition of a standard plasma transport model, computing the source of fast neutrons which activate the structure, variation of assumptions concerning plasma confinement and impurity influx, definition of the optimum neutral beam pulse length and beamline orientation, investigation of the effects of different heating profiles, investigation of pellet injection, and definition of overall plasma performance and its role in extrapolating TFTR results to design more advanced tokamak reactors.
