  A new ARC-class, highly-radiative, pulsed, L-mode, burning plasma scenario is
developed and evaluated as a candidate for future tokamak reactors. Pulsed
inductive operation alleviates the stringent current drive requirements of
steady-state reactors, and operation in L-mode affords ELM-free access to
$\sim90\%$ core radiation fractions, significantly reducing the divertor power
handling requirements. In this configuration the fusion power density can be
maximized despite L-mode confinement by utilizing high-field to increase plasma
densities and current. This allows us to obtain high gain in robust scenarios
in compact devices with $P_\mathrm{fus} > 1000\,$MW despite low confinement. We
demonstrate the feasibility of such scenarios here; first by showing that they
avoid violating 0-D tokamak limits, and then by performing self-consistent
integrated simulations of flattop operation including neoclassical and
turbulent transport, magnetic equilibrium, and RF current drive models. Finally
we examine the potential effect of introducing negative triangularity with a
0-D model. Our results show high-field radiative pulsed L-mode scenarios are a
promising alternative to the typical steady state advanced tokamak scenarios
which have dominated tokamak reactor development.
