3 . Introduction A high-density and low temperature operation is advantageous to reduce the divertor heat flux via bremstrahlung radiations and to inject pellets in the FFHRm helical reactor, however [] The first issue: Thermal instability Stabilization of the thermal instability is possible by the PID control based on the fusion power. Solved!! [] The second issues: Heating of the high-density plasma. A very high energy NBI system with 5~6 MeV is required for full penetration into high-density plasmas, which might be impossible to construct. 3
4 In this work we propose a new operation scenario to use the NBI with the beam energy of ~.5 MeV for both high and low-density operation regimes in In the thermally stable low density and high temperature operation, as the density is relatively as low as.9x m -3, NBI with ~.5 MeV can be On the other hand, as the high density inhibits the neutral beam penetration, the new operation scenario is required to access the high-density ignition regime by NBI heating with ~.5 MeV. The density is kept at the low value less than ~x m -3 to ensure the NBI penetration and the operating point passes near the saddle point on POPCON. Above the density, high-density ignition is accessed by alpha heating after turning off NBI using the proposed PID control.
5 . NBI penetration length The NBI penetration e-folding length is calculated by!(n,t )[m] = % ' & $ # ( n(x)" Yan (n,t )dx* ) # where σ Yan is the cross section for the multi-step ionization for NBI [Yanev].

23 8. Summary and further challenge: We have studied how to use NBI heating in FFHR helical reactors. [] From a safe operating point view, the density control should not be used especially near the saddle point on POPCON. It can be used only in the initial phase far from the saddle point. [] Fusion power control is important to stabilize the thermal instability, and it should be used before over-passing the saddle point. It should be also carefully preprogrammed to have a low density for NBI penetration. After over-passing the saddle point on POPCON, NBI heating power can be switched off, leading to ignition by alpha heating power. It is also robust to the parameter changes. But the feedback control of the heating power is desirable. [3] As the NBI energy less than.5 MeV would also bring high-density ignition in the FFHR fusion ignition experimental (FFHR-C) and commercial reactor (FFHRm), the near term NBI technology could be utilized for proposed helical reactors. Further big challenge: To overcome the parameter changes during the ignition access, feedback control of the heating power should be invented. 3
