Abstract
Enhanced ion transport due to toroidal field ripple is a concern in the design of tokamak power reactors. This concern is quantified for advanced fuel cycle applications where the simultaneous requirement of highnτ and highT makes the constraint on deviation from axisymmetry especially severe.
