    Le Tokamak doit travailler à des champs magnétiques toroïdaux et poloïdaux très élevés pour plus de 104 chocs, afin d'atteindre les performances désirées. Pour vérifier la possibilité de construire des bobines de champ toroïdal capables de soutenir les contraintes mécaniques, des analyses aux éléments finis à trois dimensions et d'importants programmes d'essais mécaniques à température cryogénique ont été effectués. Les principaux résultats obtenus sont présentés. Les performances, les charges et les contraintes des bobines de champ sont aussi résumées.The FTU Tokamak, in order to produce the required performance must be operated at very high levels of toroidal and poloidal magnetic field and for a large number of shots (> 104). In order to assess the feasibility of a magnet capable of this performance, a three dimensional finite element stress analysis and an extensive material cryogenic test program has been developed. The main results obtained are illustrated. The objectives, the loads and the stresses on the poloidal field windings are also reported

    Three methods of density modulation have been used in FTU discharges (gas puffing, pellet injection and current rampup). The analysis of particle balance confirms that the neoclassical theory is not adequate and the experimental results obtained by the three methods are used to verify the validity of an empirical expression for the radial particle flux. Such an expression is relevant for the design of future experiments and constitutes a constraint for any satisfactory theory
