Abstract: The purpose of nuclear fusion research is to realize a nuclear fusion reactor and to put fusion power generation into practical use. This chapter describes the conditions for establishment of the tokamak-type fusion reactor as the basis of the fusion reactor. The fusion reactor has a finite size, and the open magnetic surface eventually hits the boundary wall. The plasma-facing component includes a first wall, a limiter, and a divertor. In the tokamak, a plasma current drive system is necessary because the magnetic field generated by the plasma current is used for plasma confinement. Operation scenario of the fusion reactor can be roughly classified into the following three types. These include: pulse operation, quasi-steady-state operation, and steady-state operation. The prototype reactor aims to demonstrate nuclear fusion power generation. The demonstration reactor is a power reactor aiming to demonstrate economic efficiency.
