5 Possible NSTX Strategy for the Next Five Years Establish physics basis for design and construction of National High- power advanced Torus eXperiment (NHTX) Explore physics of Spherical Torus / Spherical Tokamak to provide basis for attractive U.S. Component Test Facility (CTF) and Demo. Support preparation and resolution of the issue cards for burning plasma research in ITER using physics breadth provided by ST; support and benefit from "ITPA Specific" activities. Complement and extend tokamak physics experiments, maximizing synergy in investigating key scientific issues of toroidal fusion plasmas NSTX to Address Scientific Issues Important for NHTX, ST-CTF, ITER, and Toroidal Fusion Plasmas

HHFW+NBI+Bootstrap What plasma parameters should we aim to establish physics basis for NHTX design? ~ 100% non-inductive operations Ip ~ 700 kA (Jon's scenario)? 1 MA? What solenoid-free start-up Ip to aim? Can we achieve 500 kA? Advanced control including RWM. j(r) control? NTM contorl? ELMs - mitigation or small ELMs likely crucial Advanced divertor - liquid lithium divertor target, cryo..? How long? ~ 3 - 5 sec (at moment ~ 1 sec at 5 kG)
