Abstract An analysis of ohmic ignition criteria is presented, giving the requirements onT, nτ, andn/j in a form easily applicable to various confinement assumptions. For circular cross-section “NeoAlcator” tokamaks with Spitzer resistivity, a value ofB 2 a approximately equal to 250 T2m is required. The outstanding uncertainties in schemes to lower this value are how much increase in current density is achievable by plasma shaping and what the exact NeoAlcator coefficient is.
