Isotopic mass effects of tritium-fueled high-performance TFTR supershots by R.V. Budny, E. Fredrickson, C.H. Skinner

“…The magnitude of the increase of the thermal ion energy $W_{\mathrm{i}}$ with added tritium was relatively small, and the total $W_{\mathrm{tot}}$ increase is dominated by the increase in fast beam ions with T. Analyses at times before the occurrences of deleterious MHD instabilities yielded scaling of $W_{\mathrm{tot}}$ with the volume-average isotopic mass consistent with previous publications. …”
