Current Drive operation in a In-blanket ICRF Ring Array

The currently predicted Current Drive (CD)efficiency in a tokamak reactor plasma is χCD ≤ 50 kA/MW for all auxiliary systems (NBCD, ICCD, ECCD). This would imply a relatively low reactor Q = Pelectric /Pauxiliary and an extremely high power density (>10 MW/m2) at the plasma boundary, if injected...
