Conclusion

Analysis using a simplified technicoeconomic model of a tokamak reactor and the procedures of graphic processing of the results allow the regions of the optimum parameters of an experimental minimum-cost reactor with various limitations to be determined. When refined β and ignition scalings are taken into account simultaneously and an appropriate optimization is made we get the parameters of the experimental reactor, which differ slightly from the basic variant (in particular, a lower neutron load on the first wall). The reactor cost in this case should increase by 15–25% in comparison with the basic variant and remains virtually constant when the most favorable ignition scaling (ASDEX) is realized.
