Abstract
The heating and thermal insulation of a hot plasma with the purpose of achieving a controlled thermonuclear reaction have been investigated for almost 50 years. Experiments in the T-10 tokamak, which have been carried out for 25 years, have played an important role in such investigations. This paper presents a history of the device, the physical and technological foundations underlying the project, and the results obtained in the ohmic heating mode during the first years of the device operation.
