The GLF23 prediction model, incorporated in the TRANSP plasma analysis code, is used to predict temperatures for burning plasmas in the proposed FIRE and ITER-FEAT tokamaks. Flat electron density profiles with various central values are assumed. Scaling of the fusion power Pdt and gain Qdt with density and pedestal temperature are given. Helium ash transport and sawtooth effect Pdt in long duration ITER-FEAT plasmas.
