The conceptual designs of the supplemental heating systems for a tenth of a kind, commercial tandem mirror reactor have been developed. A high power ECRH system at 60GHz maintains the thermal barrier in each endcell and a second low power system at 71GHz increases the magnitude of the potential peak. The sloshing ion distribution in the plug is produced by a 475KeV negative ion neutral beam. An ICRH system provides a hot plasma in the anchor region for pressure weighting of the geodesic curvature, thus ensuring stability.
