Summary<br />
• Much physics remains to be done on existing tokamaks<br />
in order to optimize ITER operation<br />
• For DEMO <strong>and</strong> for <strong>Fusion</strong> Power Plant must exp<strong>and</strong><br />
plasma parameters beyond ITER (density by a factor of<br />
3 <strong>and</strong> magnetic field by 1.5) with significant impact on<br />
actuators such as heating <strong>and</strong> current drive, as well as<br />
materials (hear talk later by D. Whyte from <strong>MIT</strong>)<br />
• Advanced Tokamak (AT) physics (pressure <strong>and</strong> CD<br />
profile control) must be demonstrated at reactor relevant<br />
fields (B =6-9 T) <strong>and</strong> densities (n e= 2.6x10 20 m -3 )<br />
• High Temperature Superconductor technology could<br />
revolutionize future magnetic fusion development<br />
