Scenarios of discharges in a tokamak with reactor technologies (TRT) in deuterium and deuterium–tritium plasmas are simulated. The possibility of completely non-inductive plasma current drive by means of neutral beam injection and ECR heating is analyzed. It is demonstrated that technical characteristics of TRT and its auxiliary systems of plasma heating and current drive provide a wide operational space for realization of long quasi-stationary discharges in plasma with reactor parameters of QDT ~ 1 at the level of 14‑MeV neutrons flow to the wall exceeding 0.1 MW/m2 and discharge duration equal to 100 s or more.
