Issues with the CFR T4B device

POSTER

Abstract

In Lockheed-Martin's CFR T4B fusion device the line cusps that pass over the internal rings experience bad magnetic curvature and this will excite instabilities. This turbulence will produce cross field plasma losses to the wall and broaden the cusps. Lockheed-Martin underestimates how wide their cusps will be and overestimates the plasma confinement.
