SITE INDEX






    * CHI injector configuration is similar
    * NSTX volume about 30 x HIT-II (better for carbon burn-through and improved separation between divertor and main plasma)
    * NSTX uses high current DC power supplies vs. capacitor discharge on HIT-II (allows greater control over current drive - especially during addition of CHI to Ohmic)
    * HIT-II has higher gas flow capability. SSI injector and 2-6 kV PI used for discharge initiation (easier for gas breakdown, but ECH on NSTX may work well enough)
