The effect of the isotope content of plasma (hydrogen/deuterium) on energy confinement time was studied at the FT-2 tokamak. A strong isotope effect is discovered, which is manifested in the deuterium plasma in high-density regimes. A correlation is shown between the improvement of the energy confinement in deuterium and the drop in the turbulence level at the plasma periphery.
