We present a Fusion Engineering Research Facility Design based upon the Long Pulse Test Experiment (LITE) Concept1. This design features component upgrades of the LITE design to allow long pulse, high fluence operation, and to provide access for engineering test ports. This facility could perform an engineering mission nearly as ambitious as INTOR2 at less than half the projected life-cycle operating costs.
