Principle of steady-state (continuous) operation of tokamak fusion reactor To realize steady-state operation of a tokamak, the plasma current should be driven non-inductively without using a transformer, and to this end it is essential to make use of the plasma self-induced bootstrap current. A high efficiency steady-state tokamak reactor will be realized by achieving a fraction of bootstrap current as high as possible, thus reducing the fraction of additive, externally driven current such as beam-driven current.
