Analysis of Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) Prototype of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)$^{\ddagger}$

TFTR \textit{produced world record of 10 million watts of controlled fusion power} [1] (CFP-1994) was summarized in \textit{Review} [1]. We present evidence [2] that: (1) TFTR input vs. output was 40 to 10 MW i.e. a power \underline {loss}. (2) Review claims no \underline {experimental} evidence for thermonuclear CFP production (only a calculation). (3) Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) required for $\tau_{\mathrm{E}} \quad =$ 0.2 s is 10$^{-9}$ torr. TFTR had no UHV pumps, resulting in 10$^{-3}$ torr, restricting $\tau_{\mathrm{E}}$ \textless 10$^{-6}$ s, \textless \textless thermalization time; 0.1 s., hence DT plasma did not occur. (4) Carbon ions were presented as D-T plasma. (5) Unknown neutron detector on unexplained neutron diamagnetic effect, measured ``fusion neutron power'' without particle energy identification, energy or coincidence. (6) 8 of 9 parameters claimed were inferred not measured. Quadratic test of TFTR data results [2] in \underline {zero thermonuclear fusion power contribution} to 10 MW: SFP $=$ (0 $\pm$ 1){\%}. $^{\ddagger}$Submitted to \textit{Physics of Plasmas} $^{\dag}$Deceased\\[4pt] [1] McGuire K.M., et al.: Review of D-T results from TFTR, \textit{Phys.
