Abstract

The pre-fusion power operation (PFPO) phase of ITER, as described in the ITER research plan with Staged Approach,22 ITER Organization, “ITER Research Plan within the Staged Approach,” ITR-18–003, Aug. 2018. includes both hydrogen (H) and helium (He) plasma operations. In preparation for PFPO, both WEST and JET ran He plasma campaigns to study plasma-wall interactions in a tungsten environment. The campaigns included a back-and-forth transition between H or deuterium (D) and He plasma operation allowing the assessment of the achievable plasma content as well as the accessible wall reservoirs for respective species. The WEST changeovers included tokamak pulses with a fixed divertor configuration. The JET changeovers applied ion cyclotron wall conditioning (ICWC) and tokamak pulses including limiter phases and four different divertor configurations. Glow discharge conditioning (GDC) was applied to complete the changeovers. The results are characterized by subdivertor optical and mass spectrometric gas analyzers and spatially resolved optical emission spectroscopy. A He content of 96–97 % after H operations is achieved by tens of ICWC pulses (JET) and several dedicated diverted plasmas (WEST and JET), while a fivefold is estimated to be required for the back transition. Effective pumping of the wall released species is a key parameter for a fast changeover. Upon applying higher heating power, the relative content of the fueled plasma species decreases. The JET gas balance analysis indicates that He operation may increase H retention. WEST divertor spectroscopy indicates a larger He inventory near the inner divertor strike line. He GDC has a clear effect on the He recycling light at the WEST divertor while D GDC did not reduce the long lasting He content observed in D pulses after the JET He campaign.

Abstract

Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV), recently celebrating 30 years of near-continual operation, continues in its missions to advance outstanding key physics and operational scenario issues for ITER and the design of future power plants such as DEMO. The main machine heating systems and operational changes are first described. Then follow five sections: plasma scenarios. ITER Base-Line (IBL) discharges, triangularity studies together with X3 heating and N2 seeding. Edge localised mode suppression, with a high radiation region near the X-point is reported with N _2 injection with and without divertor baffles in a snowflake configuration. Negative triangularity (NT) discharges attained record, albeit transient, β _N ∼ 3 with lower turbulence, higher low-Z impurity transport, vertical stability and density limits and core transport better than the IBL. Positive triangularity L-Mode linear and saturated ohmic confinement confinement saturation, often-correlated with intrinsic toroidal rotation reversals, was probed for D, H and He working gases. H-mode confinement and pedestal studies were extended to low collisionality with electron cyclotron heating obtaining steady state electron iternal transport barrier with neutral beam heating (NBH), and NBH driven H-mode configurations with off-axis co-electron cyclotron current drive. Fast particle physics. The physics of disruptions, runaway electrons and fast ions (FIs) was developed using near-full current conversion at disruption with recombination thresholds characterised for impurity species (Ne, Ar, Kr). Different flushing gases (D2, H2) and pathways to trigger a benign disruption were explored. The 55 kV NBH II generated a rich Alfvénic spectrum modulating the FI fas ion loss detector signal. NT configurations showed less toroidal Alfvén excitation activity preferentially affecting higher FI pitch angles. Scrape-off layer and edge physics. gas puff imaging systems characterised turbulent plasma ejection for several advanced divertor configurations, including NT. Combined diagnostic array divertor state analysis in detachment conditions was compared to modelling revealing an importance for molecular processes. Divertor physics. Internal gas baffles diversified to include shorter/longer structures on the high and/or low field side to probe compressive efficiency. Divertor studies concentrated upon mitigating target power, facilitating detachment and increasing the radiated power fraction employing alternative divertor geometries, optimised X-point radiator regimes and long-legged configurations. Smaller-than-expected improvements with total flux expansion were better modelled when including parallel flows. Peak outer target heat flux reduction was achieved (>50%) for high flux-expansion geometries, maintaining core performance ( H _98 > 1). A reduction in target heat loads and facilitated detachment access at lower core densities is reported. Real-time control. TCV’s real-time control upgrades employed MIMO gas injector control of stable, robust, partial detachment and plasma β feedback control avoiding neoclassical tearing modes with plasma confinement changes. Machine-learning enhancements include trajectory tracking disruption proximity and avoidance as well as a first-of-its-kind reinforcement learning-based controller for the plasma equilibrium trained entirely on a free-boundary simulator. Finally, a short description of TCV’s immediate future plans will be given.

Abstract

The mission of WEST (tungsten-W Environment in Steady-state Tokamak) is to explore long pulse operation in a full tungsten (W) environment for preparing next-step fusion devices (ITER and DEMO) with a focus on testing the ITER actively cooled W divertor in tokamak conditions. Following the successful completion of phase 1 (2016-2021), phase 2 started in December 2022 with the lower divertor made entirely of actively cooled ITER-grade tungsten mono-blocks. A boronization prior the first plasma attempt allowed for a smooth startup with the new divertor. Despite the reduced operating window due to tungsten, rapid progress has been made in long pulse operation, resulting in discharges with a pulse length of 100 s and an injected energy of around 300 MJ per discharge. Plasma startup studies were carried out with equatorial boron nitride limiters to compare them with tungsten limiters, while Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating assisted startup was attempted. High fluence operation in attached regime, which was the main thrust of the first campaigns, already showed the progressive build up of deposits and appearance of dust, impacting the plasma operation as the plasma fluence increased. In total, the cumulated injected energy during the first campaigns reached 43 GJ and the cumulated plasma time exceeded 5 h. Demonstration of controlled X-Point Radiator regime is also reported, opening a promising route for investigating plasma exhaust and plasma-wall interaction issues in more detached regime. This paper summarises the lessons learned from the manufacturing and the first operation of the ITER-grade divertor, describing the progress achieved in optimising operation in a full W environment with a focus on long pulse operation and plasma wall interaction.

Abstract

Within the 9th European Framework programme, since 2021 EUROfusion is operating five tokamaks under the auspices of a single Task Force called ‘Tokamak Exploitation’. The goal is to benefit from the complementary capabilities of each machine in a coordinated way and help in developing a scientific output scalable to future largre machines. The programme of this Task Force ensures that ASDEX Upgrade, MAST-U, TCV, WEST and JET (since 2022) work together to achieve the objectives of Missions 1 and 2 of the EUROfusion Roadmap: i) demonstrate plasma scenarios that increase the success margin of ITER and satisfy the requirements of DEMO and, ii) demonstrate an integrated approach that can handle the large power leaving ITER and DEMO plasmas. The Tokamak Exploitation task force has therefore organized experiments on these two missions with the goal to strengthen the physics and operational basis for the ITER baseline scenario and for exploiting the recent plasma exhaust enhancements in all four devices (PEX: Plasma EXhaust) for exploring the solution for handling heat and particle exhaust in ITER and develop the conceptual solutions for DEMO. The ITER Baseline scenario has been developed in a similar way in ASDEX Upgrade, TCV and JET. Key risks for ITER such as disruptions and run-aways have been also investigated in TCV, ASDEX Upgrade and JET. Experiments have explored successfully different divertor configurations (standard, super-X, snowflakes) in MAST-U and TCV and studied tungsten melting in WEST and ASDEX Upgrade. The input from the smaller devices to JET has also been proven successful to set-up novel control schemes on disruption avoidance and detachment.

Abstract

In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and D–T fuel with an ITER-like Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major JET D–T campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997, represented the culmination of a series of JET enhancements—new fusion diagnostics, new T injection capabilities, refurbishment of the T plant, increased auxiliary heating, in-vessel calibration of 14 MeV neutron yield monitors—as well as significant advances in plasma theory and modelling in the fusion community. DTE2 was complemented by a sequence of isotope physics campaigns encompassing operation in pure tritium at high T-NBI power. Carefully conducted for safe operation with tritium, the new T and D–T experiments used 1 kg of T (vs 100 g in DTE1), yielding the most fusion reactor relevant D–T plasmas to date and expanding our understanding of isotopes and D–T mixture physics. Furthermore, since the JET T and DTE2 campaigns occurred almost 25 years after the last major D–T tokamak experiment, it was also a strategic goal of the European fusion programme to refresh operational experience of a nuclear tokamak to prepare staff for ITER operation. The key physics results of the JET T and DTE2 experiments, carried out within the EUROfusion JET1 work package, are reported in this paper. Progress in the technological exploitation of JET D–T operations, development and validation of nuclear codes, neutronic tools and techniques for ITER operations carried out by EUROfusion (started within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme and continuing under the Horizon Europe FP) are reported in (Litaudon et al Nucl. Fusion accepted), while JET experience on T and D–T operations is presented in (King et al Nucl. Fusion submitted).

Abstract

The publication provide further insights into the dynamics of JET runaway electron (RE) beams mitigated by D2-rich shattered pellet injection (SPI) (Reux et al 2022 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 64 034002). Multi-diagnostic analyses show that mechanisms causing continuous RE losses and energy transfer from hot electrons to cold background plasma can act before the SPI. After the SPI, measurements are compatible with a reduction of the maximum energy and pitch angle of the RE distribution while the population of supra-thermal electrons increases. The RE population growth is likely due to electron avalanche. Dark island-like pattern chains, characterised by an integer poloidal mode number and a certain minor radius, are identified in the JET RE beam synchrotron radiation videos. The synchrotron island dynamics is studied via a newly developed computer vision code (Sommariva and Silburn https://c4science.ch/source/pSpiPTV/ ). The radial motion of synchrotron island chains is found to be consistent with the most plausible time evolution of the radial current density profile compatible with both the RE synchrotron videos and the total RE current time trace. Similarly, correlations are identified between the temporal progression of the synchrotron islands poloidal rotation frequency and sudden MHD relaxation events. Loss-of-RE events probably caused by non-linear interactions between synchrotron islands are observed for the first time. Experimental evidences suggest that synchrotron islands are possibly related to the existence of magnetic islands which may lead to the development of new RE beam mitigation strategies.

Abstract

JET, the world’s largest operating tokamak with unique Be/W wall and tritium handling capability, completed a Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) campaign in 2021 (Maggi et al 29th Fusion Energy Conf. ) following a decade of preparatory experiments, dedicated enhancements, technical rehearsals and training (Horton et al 2016 Fusion Eng. Des. 109–111 925). Operation with tritium raises significant technical, safety and scientific challenges not encountered in standard protium or deuterium operation. This contribution describes the tritium operational requirements, pulses and technical preparations, new operating procedures, lessons learned and details on the achieved operational availability and performance. The preparation and execution of the recent JET tritium experiments benefitted from the previous experience in 1991 (Preliminary Tritium Experiment), 1997 (DTE1 campaign) and 2003 (Trace Tritium Campaigns) and consisted of the following five phases: technical rehearsals and scenario preparation, tritium commissioning, 100% tritium campaign, D-T campaign (DTE2), tritium clean-up. Following the clean-up JET resumed normal operation and is currently undertaking a further D-T campaign (DTE3).

Abstract

Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe damage to the first wall. Should a disruption occur, the existence of a RE seed may play a significant role in the formation of a RE beam and the magnitude of its current. The application of central electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) reduces an existing RE seed population by up to three orders of magnitude within only a few hundred milliseconds. Applying ECRH before a disruption can also prevent the formation of a post-disruption RE beam in TCV where it would otherwise be expected. The RE expulsion rate and consequent RE current reduction are found to increase with applied ECRH power. Whereas central ECRH is effective in expelling REs, off-axis ECRH has a comparatively limited effect. A simple 0-D model for the evolution of the RE population is presented that explains how the effective ECRH-induced RE expulsion results from the combined effects of increased electron temperature and enhanced RE transport.

Abstract

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasma current, and toroidal magnetic field choices and succeeded in solving the heat load challenges arising from 37 MW of injected power in the ITER like wall environment, keeping the radiation in the edge and core controlled, avoiding MHD instabilities and reaching high neutron rates. The Deuterium hybrid plasmas have been re-run in Tritium and methods have been found to keep the radiation controlled but not at high fusion performance probably due to time constraints. For the first time this scenario has been run in Deuterium-Tritium (50:50). These plasmas were re-optimised to have a radiation-stable H-mode entry phase, good impurity control through edge T _i gradient screening and optimised performance with fusion power exceeding 10 MW for longer than three alpha particle slow down times, 8.3 MW averaged over 5 s and fusion energy of 45.8 MJ.

Abstract

A cross-machine comparison of global parameters that determine the runaway electron (RE) generation and loss process during tokamak start-up was carried out with the aim to extrapolate these to ITER. The study found that all considered discharges, also those that do not show signs of RE, are non-thermal at the start, i.e. have a streaming parameter larger than 0.1. During the current ramp-up the electric field, E , remains above the critical value, E _c , that allows RE in the plasma. The distinction to be made is not if RE can form but, if sufficient RE can form fast enough such that they are detected or start to dominate the dynamics of the tokamak discharge. The dynamics of the value of E , density and temperature during tokamak are key to the formation of RE. It was found that larger devices operate with E closer to E _c , due to their higher temperatures, hence the RE generation is relatively slower. The slower time scales for the formation of RE, estimated to be of the order of 100s of ms in ITER simplifies the development of avoidance schemes. The RE confinement time is also an important determinant of the entire process and is found to increase with the device size. The study also revealed that drift orbit losses, a mechanism often attributed as the main RE loss mechanism during the early tokamak discharge, are actually more difficult to achieve. RE losses might be more likely attributed to RE diffusion due to magnetic turbulence.

Abstract

The reference ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating schemes for ITER deuterium–tritium (D-T) plasmas at the full magnetic field of 5.3 T are second harmonic heating of T and ^3 He minority heating. The wave-particle resonance location for these schemes coincide and are central at a wave frequency of 53 MHz at 5.3 T. Experiments have been carried out in the second major D-T campaign (DTE2) at JET, and in its prior D campaigns, to integrate these ICRF scenarios in JET high-performance plasmas and to compare their performance with the commonly used hydrogen (H) minority heating. In 50:50 D:T plasmas, up to 35% and 5% larger fusion power and diamagnetic energy content, respectively, were obtained with second harmonic heating of T as compared to H minority heating at comparable total input powers and gas injection rates. The core ion temperature was up to 30% and 20% higher with second harmonic T and ^3 He minority heating, respectively, with respect to H minority heating. These are favourable results for the use of these scenarios in ITER and future fusion reactors. According to modelling, adding ICRF heating to neutral beam injection using D and T beams resulted in a 10%–20% increase of on-axis bulk ion heating in the D-T plasmas due to its localisation in the plasma core. Central power deposition was confirmed with the break-in-slope and fast Fourier transform analysis of ion and electron temperature in response to ICRF modulation. The tail temperature of fast ICRF-accelerated tritons, their enhancement of the fusion yield and time behaviour as measured by an upgraded magnetic proton recoil spectrometer and neutral particle analyser were found in agreement with theoretical predictions. No losses of ICRF-accelerated ions were observed by fast ion detectors, which was as expected given the high plasma density of n _e ≈ 7–8 × 10 ^19 m ^−3 in the main heating phase that limited the formation of ICRF-accelerated fast ion tails. ^3 He was introduced in the machine by ^3 He gas injection, and the ^3 He concentration was measured by a high-resolution optical penning gauge in the sub-divertor region. The DTE2 experiments with ^3 He minority heating were carried with a low ^3 He concentration in the range of 2%–4% given the fact that the highest neutron rates with ^3 He minority heating in D plasmas were obtained at low ^3 He concentrations of ∼2%, which also coincided with the highest plasma diamagnetic energy content. In addition to ^3 He introduced by ^3 He gas injection, an intrinsic concentration of ^3 He of the order of 0.2%–0.4% was measured in D-T plasmas before ^3 He was introduced in the device, which is attributed to the radioactive decay of tritium to ^3 He. According to modelling, even such low intrinsic concentrations of ^3 He lead to significant changes in ICRF power partitioning during second harmonic heating of T due to absorption of up to 30% of the wave power by ^3 He.

Abstract

Experimental trends in thermal plasma partial recombination resulting from massive ${{\text{D}}_2}$ injection into high-Z (Ar) containing runaway electron (RE) plateaus in DIII-D and JET are studied for the purpose of achieving sufficiently low electron density ( ${n_{\text{e}}} \approx {10^{18}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}$ ) to increase RE final loss MHD levels. In both DIII-D and JET, thermal electron density ${n_{\text{e}}}$ is found to drop by ∼100 $ \times $ when the thermal plasma partially recombines, with a minimum at a vacuum vessel-averaged ${{\text{D}}_2}$ density in the range ${10^{20}}\!\!-\!\!{10^{21}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}$ . RE effective resistivity also drops after partial recombination, indicating expulsion of the Ar content. The ${n_{\text{e}}}$ level after partial recombination is found to increase as RE current is increased. The amount of initial Ar in the RE plateau is not observed to have a strong effect on partial recombination. Partial recombination timescales of order 5 ms in DIII-D and 15 ms in JET are observed. These basic trends and timescales are matched with a 1D diffusion model, which is then used to extrapolate to ITER and SPARC tokamaks. Within the approximations of this model, it is predicted that ITER will be able to achieve sufficiently low ${n_{\text{e}}}$ values on time scales faster than expected RE plateau vertical drift timescales (of order 100 ms), provided sufficient ${{\text{D}}_2}$ or ${{\text{H}}_2}$ is injected. In SPARC, it is predicted that achieving significant ${n_{\text{e}}}$ recombination will be challenging, due to the very high RE current density. In both ITER and SPARC, it is predicted that achieving low ${n_{\text{e}}}$ will be easier with Ar as a background impurity (rather than Ne).

Abstract

In the WEST tokamak, ITER-like divertor targets consisting of tungsten monoblocks bonded via an OHFC-Cu compliance layer to CuCrZr cooling tubes were exposed to plasma during the 2018 experimental campaign in which modest heating power was available. Up to 2.5 MW/m2 divertor surface heat flux was attained. Inspection of the components after the campaign revealed a wide variety of damage at both leading and trailing monoblock edges, and at the optical hot spots which are the projections along magnetic field lines of the toroidal gaps between monoblocks onto the poloidal leading edges. Cracking, deformation, and melting occurred. Consideration of the large body of past work on high heat flux testing, combined with the expected loading conditions in WEST, suggests that fractures form during the first transient events such as disruptions. Deformation occurs under subsequent exposure to steady state heat loads. Nearly identical damage was observed on reciprocating probes made of W-La(10%) alloy under measured irradiation conditions, lending credence to this hypothesis.

Abstract

Threshold ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is one of two methods envisioned in ITER to quantify the helium (He) fusion product in the exhaust pumping lines during plasma discharges. We present the first demonstration of another potential application of TIMS in a tokamak environment, namely, the analysis of deuterium (D) and He outgassing following a plasma discharge i.e. during the post-discharge. This method has been tested with sub-second temporal resolution in WEST during its first He plasma discharges in the so-called He changeover experimental campaign. The calibration method of TIMS using a D plasma discharge is presented while the uncertainties related to TIMS during rapid pressure variations, i.e. upon plasma breakdown and plasma termination, are discussed. The first results obtained with TIMS during consecutive D and He plasma discharges in the full tungsten (W) tokamak WEST are reported. It is found that the time evolutions for He and D outgassing in the post-discharge are markedly different. On one hand, He outgassing is instantaneous and decays within 60 s until the He signal gets below detection level. On the other hand, D outgassing can reach a maximum up to several tens of seconds after the termination of the plasma and this outgassing can last for about 10 min. These striking differences should be related to different retention and outgassing from WEST plasma facing components, presently constituted of actively-cooled ITER-like W units and inertially cooled W-coated graphite. Potential mechanisms at the origin of the different outgassing behavior for D and He in W plasma facing components are discussed in light of a systematic analysis of the He and D gas balance and a macroscopic rate equation modeling of the D outgassing from the divertor strike points.

Abstract

A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the heat flux, α, is defined through the power balance analysis of the steady state. The model was used to obtain the experimental values of α for a large database of the Joint European Torus (JET) carbon-wall as well as ITER like-wall plasmas. The fractional degrees of the electron heat flux are found to be α

Abstract

Runaway electrons (REs) created during tokamak disruptions pose a threat to the reliable operation of future larger machines. Experiments using shattered pellet injection (SPI) have been carried out at the JET tokamak to investigate ways to prevent their generation or suppress them if avoidance is not sufficient. Avoidance is possible if the SPI contains a sufficiently low fraction of high-Z material, or if it is fired early in advance of a disruption prone to runaway generation. These results are consistent with previous similar findings obtained with Massive Gas Injection. Suppression of an already accelerated beam is not efficient using High-Z material, but deuterium leads to harmless terminations without heat loads. This effect is due to the combination of a large magnetohydrodynamic instability scattering REs on a large area and the absence of runaway regeneration during the subsequent current collapse thanks to the flushing of high-Z impurities from the runaway companion plasma. This effect also works in situations where the runaway beam moves upwards and undergoes scraping-off on the wall.

Abstract

The integrated commissioning of the tungsten (W) environment in steady-state tokamak (WEST) was started with the superconducting magnet cool-down and completed one year after by the injection of 2.5 MW of additional power. It consisted of several steps: local system commissioning, integrated commissioning without plasma, and first plasma operation. This article reviews these WEST commissioning phases and highlights the experiences and the lessons learned. The magnet cooling down operation was initiated in late September 2016. The vacuum vessel was pumped out three weeks before the first plasma. The impregnation and curing of the two in-vessel divertor coils was performed at 180 °C during two days contributing to the baking of the vacuum vessel. In the meanwhile, rehearsal sessions for testing the CODAC systems were organized every month. The toroidal, poloidal, and divertor field coils were energized and their performance was tested successfully allowing moving to the first plasma operation phase. After a few attempts, plasma breakdown was achieved confirming that all systems were properly running and synchronized. Due to several micro air leaks on fiber optic feedthroughs and issues with the design of the in-vessel stabilizing plates, plasma current ramp-up could not be achieved in a first step. Once these issues have been fixed, confined plasmas could be obtained. Diverted plasmas were then achieved and the plasma current was increased up to 800 kA for more than 10 s. Up to 2.5 MW of additional power was eventually successfully coupled to the plasma.

Abstract

A series of experiments have been executed at JET to assess the efficacy of the newly installed shattered pellet injection (SPI) system in mitigating the effects of disruptions. Issues, important for the ITER disruption mitigation system, such as thermal load mitigation, avoidance of runaway electron (RE) formation, radiation asymmetries during thermal quench mitigation, electromagnetic load control and RE energy dissipation have been addressed over a large parameter range. The efficiency of the mitigation has been examined for the various SPI injection strategies. The paper summarises the results from these JET SPI experiments and discusses their implications for the ITER disruption mitigation scheme.

Abstract

The new WEST configuration of Tore Supra facility leads to control challenges and the need to handle events of a modern diverted and metallic machine (vertical stabilization, impurity control, …). To address them, a new Plasma Control System (PCS) has been built based on the ASDEX upgrade (AUG) real-time framework called DCS (Discharge Control System). This contribution summarizes the work done during the 5 years of the project from the definition of the PCS concepts to its operation during the WEST campaigns. The integration into the Tore Supra control infrastructure is detailed as well as the different real-time control processes. The efficiency and the versatility of the PCS are illustrated by several examples of plasma operation.

Abstract

International audience; Threshold ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is one of two methods envisioned in ITER to quantify the helium (He) fusion product in the exhaust pumping lines during plasma discharges. We present the first demonstration of another potential application of TIMS in a tokamak environment, namely, the analysis of deuterium (D) and He outgassing following a plasma discharge i.e. during the post-discharge. This method has been tested with sub-second temporal resolution in WEST during its first He plasma discharges in the so-called He changeover experimental campaign. The calibration method of TIMS using a D plasma discharge is presented while the uncertainties related to TIMS during rapid pressure variations, i.e. upon plasma breakdown and plasma termination, are discussed. The first results obtained with TIMS during consecutive D and He plasma discharges in the full tungsten (W) tokamak WEST are reported. It is found that the time evolutions for He and D outgassing in the post-discharge are markedly different. On one hand, He outgassing is instantaneous and decays within 60 s until the He signal gets below detection level. On the other hand, D outgassing can reach a maximum up to several tens of seconds after the termination of the plasma and this outgassing can last for about 10 min. These striking differences should be related to different retention and outgassing from WEST plasma facing components, presently constituted of actively-cooled ITER-like W units and inertially cooled W-coated graphite. Potential mechanisms at the origin of the different outgassing behavior for D and He in W plasma facing components are discussed in light of a systematic analysis of the He and D gas balance and a macroscopic rate equation modeling of the D outgassing from the divertor strike points.

Abstract

This article investigates the triggering of ELMs on JET by injection of frozen pellets of isotopes of Hydrogen. A method is established to determine the probability that a specific pellet triggers a particular ELM. This method allows clear distinction between pellet-ELM pairs that are very likely to represent triggering events and pairs that are very unlikely to represent such an event. Based on this, the pellet parameters that are most likely to affect the ability of pellets to trigger ELMs have been investigated. It has been found that the injection location is very important, with injection from the vertical high field side showing a much higher triggering efficiency than low field side (LFS) injection. The dependence on parameters such as pellet speed and size and the time since the last ELM is also seen to be much stronger for LFS injection. Finally, the paper illustrates how improvements to the pellet injection system by streamlining the pellet flight lines and slightly increasing the pellet size has resulted in a significantly improved ability to deliver pellets to the plasma and trigger ELMs.

Abstract

see also: http://west.cea.fr/WESTteam; International audience; In the WEST tokamak, ITER-like divertor targets consisting of tungsten monoblocks bonded via an OHFC-Cu compliance layer to CuCrZr cooling tubes were exposed to plasma during the 2018 experimental campaign in which modest heating power was available. Up to 2.5 MW/m$^2$ divertor surface heat flux was attained. Inspection of the components after the campaign revealed a wide variety of damage at both leading and trailing monoblock edges, and at the optical hot spots which are the projections along magnetic field lines of the toroidal gaps between monoblocks onto the poloidal leading edges. Cracking, deformation, and melting occurred. Consideration of the large body of past work on high heat flux testing, combined with the expected loading conditions in WEST, suggests that fractures form during the first transient events such as disruptions. Deformation occurs under subsequent exposure to steady state heat loads. Nearly identical damage was observed on reciprocating probes made of W-La(10%) alloy under measured irradiation conditions, lending credence to this hypothesis.

Abstract

A runaway electron (RE) fluid model is used to perform non-linear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a relativistic electron beam termination event in JET. The case considered is that of a post-disruption low density cold plasma in the runaway plateau phase, wherein high-Z impurities have been largely flushed out via deuterium second injection (Shot:95135). Details of the experiment are found in separate publications. Our studies reveal that a combination of low plasma density and a hollow current profile which is confirmed by experimental studies causes fast growth of a double-tearing mode, which in turn leads to stochastization of the magnetic field and a prompt loss of REs. The phenomenology of events leading to the crash and the timescales of the dynamics are in excellent agreement with the experiment. Simulations also indicate significant toroidal variation in RE deposition but without localized hotspots. The strong stochastization setting in first from the edge leads to a poloidally broad deposition footprint that partly explains the benign nature of the termination event. This work further supports the potential possibility to engineer a benign RE beam termination scenario via deuterium second injection in ITER, as proposed by Reux et al ‘Runaway electron beam suppression using impurity flushing and large magnetohydrodynamic instabilities’ (submitted to Physical Review Letters).

Abstract

Disruptions in tokamak plasmas may lead to the generation of runaway electrons that have the potential to damage plasma-facing components. Improved understanding of the runaway generation process requires interpretative modelling of experiments. In this work we simulate eight discharges in the ASDEX Upgrade and JET tokamaks, where argon gas was injected to trigger the disruption. We use a fluid modelling framework with the capability to model the generation of runaway electrons through the hot-tail, Dreicer and avalanche mechanisms, as well as runaway electron losses. Using experimentally based initial values of plasma current and electron temperature and density, we can reproduce the plasma current evolution using realistic assumptions about temperature evolution and assimilation of the injected argon in the plasma. The assumptions and results are similar for the modelled discharges in ASDEX Upgrade and JET, indicating that the implemented models are applicable to machines of varying size, which is important for the modelling of future, larger machines. For the modelled discharges in ASDEX Upgrade, where the initial temperature was comparatively high, we had to assume that a large fraction of the hot-tail runaway electrons were lost in order to reproduce the measured current evolution., Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures

Abstract

In recent years, a new inversion method has been adapted to JET tomographic diagnostics. It is based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) approach and has been applied to most systems of interest: the neutron, gamma ray and bolometric tomographies. In addition to its accuracy and reliability, the main competitive advantage of the ML inversion is the fact that it can provide reliable estimates of the uncertainties in the reconstructions. Recently the same approach has been deployed for the investigation of the hard X-rays and gamma rays, emitted by beams of runaway electrons during disruptions. This application is a particularly challenging proposition, given the potential detrimental effects of the errors in the magnetic topology, during the current quench. In this perspective, particular attention has been devoted to producing good quality, high time resolution equilibria. The ML inversion technique has given promising results and the developed routines have the potential of constituting a good complement to the other diagnostics, such as the infrared cameras, typically used to investigate the runaway electrons.

Abstract

JOREK is a massively parallel fully implicit non-linear extended MHD code for realistic tokamak X-point plasmas. It has become a widely used versatile code for studying large-scale plasma instabilities and their control developed in an international community. This article gives a comprehensive overview of the physics models implemented, numerical methods applied for solving the equations and physics studies performed with the code. A dedicated section highlights some of the verification work done for the code. A hierarchy of different physics models is available including a free boundary and resistive wall extension and hybrid kinetic-fluid models. The code allows for flux-surface aligned iso-parametric finite element grids in single and double X-point plasmas which can be extended to the true physical walls and uses a robust fully implicit time stepping. Particular focus is laid on plasma edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) physics as well as disruption related phenomena. Among the key results obtained with JOREK regarding plasma edge and SOL, are deep insights into the dynamics of edge localized modes (ELMs), ELM cycles, and ELM control by resonant magnetic perturbations, pellet injection, as well as by vertical magnetic kicks. Also ELM free regimes, detachment physics, the generation and transport of impurities during an ELM, and electrostatic turbulence in the pedestal region are investigated. Regarding disruptions, the focus is on the dynamics of the thermal quench and current quench triggered by massive gas injection (MGI) and shattered pellet injection (SPI), runaway electron (RE) dynamics as well as the RE interaction with MHD modes, and vertical displacement events (VDEs). Also the seeding and suppression of tearing modes (TMs), the dynamics of naturally occurring thermal quenches triggered by locked modes, and radiative collapses are being studied., Comment: Comprehensive review published as special topic article in Nuclear Fusion

Abstract

Relativistic electron (RE) beams at high current density (low safety factor, q ( a )) yet very low free-electron density accessed with D-2 secondary injection in the DIII-D and JET tokamak are found to exhibit large-scale MHD instabilities that benignly terminate the RE beam. In JET, this technique has enabled termination of MA-level RE currents without measurable first-wall heating. This scenario thus offers an unexpected alternate pathway to achieve RE mitigation without collisional dissipation. Benign termination is explained by two synergistic effects. First, during the MHD-driven RE loss events both experiment and MHD orbit-loss modeling supports a significant increase in the wetted area of the RE loss. Second, as previously identified at JET and DIII-D, the fast kink loss timescale precludes RE beam regeneration and the resulting dangerous conversion of magnetic to RE kinetic energy. During the termination, the RE kinetic energy is lost to the wall, but the current fully transfers to the cold bulk thus enabling benign Ohmic dissipation of the magnetic energy on longer timescales via a conventional current quench. Hydrogenic (D-2) secondary injection is found to be the only injected species that enables access to the benign termination. D-2 injection: (1) facilitates access to low q ( a ) in existing devices (via reduced collisionality & resistivity), (2) minimizes the RE avalanche by 'purging' the high-Z atoms from the RE beam, (3) drives recombination of the background plasma, reducing the density and Alfven time, thus accelerating the MHD growth. This phenomenon is found to be accessible when crossing the low q ( a ) stability boundary with rising current, falling toroidal field, or contracting minor radius-the latter being the expected scenario for vertically unstable RE beams in ITER. While unexpected, this path scales favorably to fusion-grade tokamaks and offers a novel RE mitigation scenario in principle accessible with the day-one disruption mitigation system of ITER.

Abstract

For the first time it is experimentally demonstrated on the JET tokamak that a combination of a low impurity concentration bulk plasma and large magnetohydrodynamic instabilities is able to suppress relativistic electron beams without measurable heat loads onto the plasma facing components. Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the instability and modeling of the postinstability plasma confirm the prompt loss of runaways and the absence of regeneration during the final current collapse. These surprising findings motivate a new approach to dissipate runaway electrons generated during tokamak plasma disruptions.

Abstract

The first lower hybrid current drive experiments in the full tungsten WEST tokamak are reported. Good wave coupling is found at rather low plasma current (q95∼4.3) and medium density (ne∼3×1019m-3). Reflection coefficient is in agreement with the expectation from the linear theory of coupling. With low reflection coefficients, 5MW was coupled for 2 seconds. High central electron temperature, up to 5keV, is achieved at ne = 3-4×1019m-3. Flat and even hollow profiles of tungsten density are derived from the bolometry diagnostic. The stored thermal energy follows the H96-P scaling law with very slight degradation with density. The current drive efficiency has been assessed in low loop voltage (VL∼0.15V) discharges. Low plasma current operation and rather high effective charge (Zeff∼3) lead to modest current drive efficiency (ƞ = 0.5-0.65 × 1019 A.W−1m-2). Long pulse operation (∼30s) with high LHCD power (PLH=2.7MW) is achieved with stationary parameters, in particular electron and impurity densities, with the upper water-cooled tungsten divertor.

Abstract

International audience; The next step for fusion energy after the ITER tokamak is the demonstration power plant DEMO. In this framework , system codes are used to address high-level key design issues for the DEMO pre-conceptual phase. They aim at capturing the interactions between the subsystems of a fusion reactor. SYCOMORE is a modular system code which includes physics and technology models coupled to an optimizer in order to explore a large design parameter space. In the present paper, trade-off studies focused on technology modules are reported including the influence of some design-driving assumptions on the reactor performances and size, starting from a European DEMO1-like design (more than 500 MW net electric power and 2 h burn duration). The increase of the mechanical stress limits in TF and CS magnets can help reducing the reactor size, slightly more when high temperature superconductors are used in the TF coil. The tritium breeding ratio can be improved to more than 1.10 by a moderate increase of the size, but the tritium burn-up ratio needs one additional meter of major radius for every percent increase. Divertor coolant options are also compared, showing some differences between helium, hot and cold water scenarios at various incident divertor heat fluxes.

Abstract

In the framework of prospective activities for a demonstration power plant, DEMO will be the next step for fusion energy following ITER tokamak. Some of the key design top-level questions can be addressed using macroscopic system-level codes. Those system codes aim to model the whole fusion plant with all its subsystems and identify the impact of their interactions on the design choices. The code SYstem COde for MOdelling REactors (SYCOMORE) is a modular system code developed to address key questions relevant to the tokamak fusion reactor design by giving a global view of technology and physic domains. Among all components, SYCOMORE provides a representation of the magnet system, which is of importance regarding some factor of merits, e.g., fusion power or cost. SYCOMORE is ultimately coupled with an optimizer, scanning a high number of operation configurations and ranking them along selected merits. This scanning requires fast computation for each scanned point, so the magnets modeling must meet a tradeoff between simplicity and accuracy. In this paper, we describe that the way toroidal field (TF), central solenoid (CS), and poloidal field (PF) systems modeling in SYCOMORE was chosen taking into consideration the driving design criteria used in usual magnet design method (temperature margin, copper maximum temperature during quench, mechanical resilience in stainless steel structural parts, etc). The specificities of the reduced magnet representation chosen approach will be exposed, and the benchmarking of the simplified model of the two main systems (TF and CS) applied on DEMO reactor configuration will be compared with the output of a more sophisticated design method using an elaborated tool (CEA design tool) that is used to establish the CEA design of DEMO magnets. Together with this benchmark, a discussion on the limits of this approach will be conducted. PF system implementation being in an early stage, the winding pack design module will be exposed (with its associated benchmarking part with CEA design tool), but not the part of PF current reconstruction with respect to system features. Parametric explorations of DEMO configurations will be reported along different conceptual choices related to the magnets (e.g., superconductor material and performances, and structure resilience limits), and the impact on the magnet system main design features will be exposed. Main lines of the future development work will also be presented.

Abstract

The consequences of tungsten (W) melting on divertor lifetime and plasma operation are high priority issues for ITER. Sustained and controlled W-melting experiment has been achieved for the first time in WEST on a poloidal sharp leading edge of an actively cooled ITER-like plasma facing unit (PFU). A series of dedicated high power steady state plasma discharges were performed to reach the melting point of tungsten. The leading edge was exposed to a parallel heat flux of about 100 MW.m−2 for up to 5 s providing a melt phase of about 2 s without noticeable impact of melting on plasma operation (radiated power and tungsten impurity content remained stable at constant input power) and no melt ejection were observed. The surface temperature of the MB was monitored by a high spatial resolution (0.1 mm/pixel) infrared camera viewing the melt zone from the top of the machine. The melting discharge was repeated three times resulting in about 6 s accumulated melting duration leading to material displacement from three similar pools. Cumulated on the overall sustained melting periods, this leads to excavation depth of about 230 μm followed by a re-solidified tungsten bump of 200 μm in the JxB direction.

Abstract

International audience; The next step after ITER is the demonstration of stable electricity production with a fusion reactor. Key design performances will have to be met by the corresponding power plant demonstrator (DEMO), fulfilling a large number of constraints. System codes such as SYCOMORE, by simulating all the fusion power plant subsystems , address those questions. To be able to perform design optimizations, simplified models relying on physical and technological assumptions have to be used, resulting in a large number of input parameters. As these parameters are not always exactly known, the impact of their associated uncertainties on final design performances has to be evaluated. Sensitivity methods, by measuring the relative influence of inputs on the figures of merit of the design, allow to select the dominant parameters. This information helps the search for optimal working points, guides the priority for technical improvements and finally allows selecting meaningful inputs for uncertainty propagation. A full set of sensitivity methods and their application on a ITER and a DEMO design will be presented, discussing both the statistical methods behaviors and the physical results. Plasma shape parameters (minor radius and plasma elongations) share half of the net electricity power sensitivity for the DEMO 2015 design while the toroidal magnetic field and the 95 % safety factor are responsible for 23% and 17% of the electric power sensitivity, respectively. The plasma minor radius is responsible for 45% of the pulse duration sensitivity for the DEMO 2015 design, while plasma physics parameters drive ∼ 37% of the pulse duration sensitivity.

Abstract

The research program of the TCV tokamak ranges from conventional to advanced-tokamak scenarios and alternative divertor configurations, to exploratory plasmas driven by theoretical insight, exploiting the device's unique shaping capabilities. Disruption avoidance by real-time locked mode prevention or unlocking with electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) was thoroughly documented, using magnetic and radiation triggers. Runaway generation with high-Z noble-gas injection and runaway dissipation by subsequent Ne or Ar injection were studied for model validation. The new 1 MW neutral beam injector has expanded the parameter range, now encompassing ELMy H-modes in an ITER-like shape and nearly non-inductive H-mode discharges sustained by electron cyclotron and neutral beam current drive. In the H-mode, the pedestal pressure increases modestly with nitrogen seeding while fueling moves the density pedestal outwards, but the plasma stored energy is largely uncorrelated to either seeding or fueling. High fueling at high triangularity is key to accessing the attractive small edge-localized mode (type-II) regime. Turbulence is reduced in the core at negative triangularity, consistent with increased confinement and in accord with global gyrokinetic simulations. The geodesic acoustic mode, possibly coupled with avalanche events, has been linked with particle flow to the wall in diverted plasmas. Detachment, scrape-off layer transport, and turbulence were studied in L- and H-modes in both standard and alternative configurations (snowflake, super-X, and beyond). The detachment process is caused by power 'starvation' reducing the ionization source, with volume recombination playing only a minor role. Partial detachment in the H-mode is obtained with impurity seeding and has shown little dependence on flux expansion in standard single-null geometry. In the attached L-mode phase, increasing the outer connection length reduces the in-out heat-flow asymmetry. A doublet plasma, featuring an internal X-point, was achieved successfully, and a transport barrier was observed in the mantle just outside the internal separatrix. In the near future variable-configuration baffles and possibly divertor pumping will be introduced to investigate the effect of divertor closure on exhaust and performance, and 3.5 MW ECRH and 1 MW neutral beam injection heating will be added., This work was supported in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Abstract

Within the EUROfusion MST1 work package, a series of experiments has been conducted on AUG and TCV devices to disentangle the role of plasma fueling and plasma shape for the onset of small ELM regimes. On both devices, small ELM regimes with high confinement are achieved if and only if two conditions are fulfilled at the same time. Firstly, the plasma density at the separatrix must be large enough (), leading to a pressure profile flattening at the separatrix, which stabilizes type-I ELMs. Secondly, the magnetic configuration has to be close to a double null (DN), leading to a reduction of the magnetic shear in the extreme vicinity of the separatrix. As a consequence, its stabilizing effect on ballooning modes is weakened. Peer Reviewed Article escrit per 365 autors/autores: Labit, B.; Eich, T.; Harrer, G. F.; Wolfrum, E.; Bernert, M.; Dunne, M.

Abstract

This paper presents two scenarios used for generation of a runaway electron (RE) beam in the COMPASS tokamak with a focus on the decay phase and control of the beam. The first scenario consists of massive gas injection of argon into the current ramp-up phase, leading to a disruption accompanied by runaway plateau generation. In the second scenario, injection of a smaller amount of gas is used in order to isolate the RE beam from high-temperature plasma. The performances of current control and radial and vertical position feedback control in the second scenario were experimentally studied and analysed. The role of RE energy in the radial position stability of the RE beam seems to be crucial. A comparison of the decay phase of the RE beam in various amounts of Ar or Ne was studied using absolute extreme ultraviolet (AXUV) tomography and hard x-ray (HXR) intensity measurement. Argon clearly leads to higher HXR fluxes for the same current decay rate than neon, while radiated power based on AXUV measurements is larger for Ne in the same set of discharges.

Abstract

The Toroidal Field (TF) system of the Tore Supra/WEST tokamak comprises 18 NbTi superconducting coils, cooled by a static superfluid helium bath at 1.8 K and carrying a nominal current of 1255 A. The 19th December 2017, at the end of plasma run #52205, a quench of TFC-09 was detected first on a secondary thermohydraulical signal (helium liquid level) and triggered the current Fast Safety Discharge (FSD). A numerical model of this quench has been developed with SuperMagnet (CryoSoft). The whole TFC-09 circular coil is modelled by THEA as a single large Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC) with 2028 large rectangular strands (monolithic conductors of length equal to coil average perimeter). The external quench helium relief circuit (cold and warm safety valves, rupture disk and magnetic valve with corresponding pressure set) is modelled by FLOWER. The helium pressure in the coil, upstream of the cold safety valve (maximum value of 9 bar), and the expulsed helium temperature have been used as comparison between measurements and calculations which depend on the Minimum Quench Energy (MQE) used in THEA with small initial heat deposition length (few tens of centimeters) at low field region (external leg). This energy, in the order of few kJ, is compared to the real shape and energy of neutron and gamma flux caused by highly energetic runaway electrons colliding the outboard plasma facing components and which induced the quench. The expulsed helium mass flow rate of nearly 6 kg/s during 5 s has also been calculated. This event confirms on one hand the criticality and the possible occurrence of a so called “smooth quench” caused by small initial heat deposition length and at low field region and on the other hand the important interest of secondary quench detection which can be useful for other tokamak magnets safe operation and protection.

Abstract

Disruptions in large size tokamak like ITER must be mitigated to reduce detrimental effects on the device. Massive impurity injection prior to disruption is a promising mitigation technique. Many injector designs have already been tested on nowadays tokamaks. A novel concept of injector has been designed and tested on Tore Supra. It is based on the use of high pressure cartridges sealed with a bursting disc. For firing, an electric arc is generated inside the cartridge close to the rupture disc. This initiates a shock wave which breaks the disc. Tests show that the opening is achieved in less than 400 μs. A detailed modeling of the fast injector operation is presented. One result is that the gas is expelled in about 2 ms and an outflow rate as large as 4.2 × 10 25 atoms/s can be achieved at the nozzle exit (1 cm diameter). Massive neon gas injections have be performed on stable plasma to validate the concept. The gas penetration into the plasma prior to disruption is followed by a fast camera. Comparison with a ferromagnetic-valve based injector was also carried out. It is found that the velocity of the cold front penetration into the hot plasma is larger using this new injector.

Abstract

The significant role of magnetic perturbations in mitigation and losses of runaway electrons (REs) was documented in dedicated experimental studies of RE at the COMPASS tokamak. REs in COMPASS are produced both in low density quiescent discharges and in disruptions triggered by massive gas injection (MGI). The role of the RE seed produced in the beginning of the discharge on the subsequent RE population proved significant. Modulation of the RE losses by MHD instabilities was observed at several characteristic frequencies, as well as by magnetic field oscillations related to power supplies. Magnetic islands seem to suppress the losses as the HXR signal is low and coherent with the island rotation frequency. Moreover, periods of increased losses of REs observed in the current quench (CQ) and early RE beam plateau phase of the MGI disruptions seem to be linked to the bursts of magnetic perturbation, and to the observation of filaments in the fast visible camera images.

Abstract

The 2014–2016 JET results are reviewed in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation. More than 60 h of plasma operation with ITER first wall materials successfully took place since its installation in 2011. New multi-machine scaling of the type I-ELM divertor energy flux density to ITER is supported by first principle modelling. ITER relevant disruption experiments and first principle modelling are reported with a set of three disruption mitigation valves mimicking the ITER setup. Insights of the L–H power threshold in Deuterium and Hydrogen are given, stressing the importance of the magnetic configurations and the recent measurements of fine-scale structures in the edge radial electric. Dimensionless scans of the core and pedestal confinement provide new information to elucidate the importance of the first wall material on the fusion performance. H-mode plasmas at ITER triangularity (H = 1 at ßN ~ 1.8 and n/nGW ~ 0.6) have been sustained at 2 MA during 5 s. The ITER neutronics codes have been validated on high performance experiments. Prospects for the coming D–T campaign and 14 MeV neutron calibration strategy are reviewed. This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014–2018 under grant agreement No 633053.

Abstract

Runaway electrons (RE) generated during disruption are identified as a major issue for ITER and reactor-size tokamaks. A seed of decoupled electrons is produced in the plasma core at thermal quench of the disruption when the current profile flattens due to high MHD activity. These RE are then accelerated by the toroidal electric field associated to the plasma current quench (CQ) up to relativistic energy. They initiate second RE generation during current quench (CQ) due to the avalanching process, leading to a multiplication of these relativistic electrons. The impact of RE on the first wall is well localized due to their very small pitch angle. The energy deposition may be huge and plasma facing components (PFC) damages are often reported. Mitigation techniques are thus mandatory to suppress RE formation or/and reduce their heat loads. Two ways are explored on Tore Supra: Suppress the RE beam formation and avalanche amplification by multiple gas jet injections at (CQ). Control the RE beam when it is formed and increase the collisionnality to slow-down relativistic electrons.

Abstract

Disruptions are a major concern for next-generation tokamaks, including ITER. Heat loads, electromagnetic forces and runaway electrons generated by disruptions have to be mitigated for a reliable operation of future machines. Massive gas injection is one of the methods proposed for disruption mitigation. This article reports the first use of massive gas injection as an active disruption protection system at JET. During the 2011–2012 campaigns, 67 disruptions have been mitigated by the disruption mitigation valve (DMV) following a detection by mode lock amplitude and loop voltage changes. Most of disruptions where the valve was intended to be used were successfully mitigated by the DMV, although at different stages of the typical slow disruptions of the ITER-like wall. The fraction of magnetic and thermal energy radiated during the disruption was found to be increased by the action of the DMV. Vertical forces dispersion was also reduced. No non-sustained breakdown was observed following pulses terminated by the disruption mitigation valve.

Abstract

The development of plasma scenarios compatible with metallic wall at JET requires both reliable and accurate surface temperature measurements and power load predictions, because of the reduction of the safety margins compared to the previous carbon wall. The code PFCFlux (Plasma Facing Components Flux) has been developed for heat flux calculations on those components, including shadowing effects. It has been implemented at JET, for the evaluation of the power deposition on the poloidal limiters (high and low field sides) and the divertor targets. In this paper, the concepts and methodology used are described. Two cases are then analysed, one of which is compared with infrared measurements and probes measurements. The usages of the tool are discussed, as well as the need of “end-to-end” simulation composed of several simulations tools in order to correctly predict the measurement itself.

Valisa, ASDEX Upgrade Team, TCV Team, and the EUROfusion MST Team

Abstract

ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and TCV have recently joined the international eort of better understanding runaway electron (RE) generation and dissipation, aiding the development of the future ITER disruption & runaway electron mitigation system. The AUG post- disruption RE beams can carry up to 400 kA of current and last up to 500 ms. Suppression of REs was achieved with 0.17 barl of argon or 0.7 barl of neon massive gas injection (MGI) into a fully formed beam using the in-vessel valves. A resonant magnetic perturbation conguration was developed that leads to up to a factor of 2 decrease in the RE current. TCV quiescent RE scenarios show RE generation at E=Ec & 15. MGI induced disruptions can achieve a full conversion of Ohmic current into runaways and beam lengths of up to 650 ms. High-Z injections of argon & neon on TCV lead to enhanced RE dissipation, but not a full suppression. Elongated plasmas were found to not generate RE beams. Pre-disruption seed electrons have been found to survive the disruption on both tokamaks, indicating a partially conned core during the quench phase.

Abstract

Disruptive plasma termination was proposed for controlling long-term fuel retention because the subsequent increase of the post-discharge outgassing could help in minimizing the fuel stored in the vessel after each discharge. The efficiency of this method is investigated by analyzing the Tore Supra database for the period 2004–2010 (450 disruptions). Results are shown for the plasma motion during the current quench and the heating of deposits at the Toroidal Pumped Limiter surface. Dependences of the outgassing with internal and magnetic energy contents, increment of the wall inventory and cumulated time between two disruptions are characterized. It is shown: (1) that the desorbed gas originates from D-rich deposits close to the plasma when those located in remote areas are weakly affected and (2) that the amount of released gas saturates with discharge duration and time delay between two disruptions, which limits the efficiency of the method for long discharge operation. However, due to the larger volume/surface ratio, the efficiency of the method is expected to increase with the size of the device.

Cross-reference analysis of the available JET experiments on MGI and their simulations with the TOKES code allow suggesting that in JET conditions one can convert into radiation the electron thermal energy and the plasma current energy, but the ion thermal energy does not convert into radiation because of very ineffective excitation of injected noble gas (NG) ions by D ions and long equipartition time between D ions and electrons. The model assumes rather high electron temperature during current quench (CQ), which contradicts with its time duration. Rough extrapolation of the result on ITER conditions shows that one can expect irradiation of total plasma energy if CQ duration in ITER is not shorter as in JET.

Abstract

Équipe 107 : Physique des plasmas chauds; International audience; Disruptions are a major operational concern for next generation tokamaks, including ITER. They may generate excessive heat loads on plasma facing components, large electromagnetic forces in the machine structures and several MA of multi-MeV runaway electrons. A more complete understanding of the runaway generation processes and methods to suppress them is necessary to ensure safe and reliable operation of future tokamaks. Runaway electrons were studied at JET-ILW showing that their generation dependencies (accelerating electric field, avalanche critical field, toroidal field, MHD fluctuations) are in agreement with current theories. In addition, vertical stability plays a key role in long runaway beam formation. Energies up to 20 MeV are observed. Mitigation of an incoming runaway electron beam triggered by massive argon injection was found to be feasible provided that the injection takes place early enough in the disruption process. However, suppressing an already accelerated runaway electron beam in the MA range was found to be difficult even with injections of more than 2 kPa.m(3) high-Z gases such as krypton or xenon. This may be due to the presence of a cold background plasma weakly coupled to the runaway electron beam which prevents neutrals from penetrating in the electron beam core. Following unsuccessful mitigation attempts, runaway electron impacts on beryllium plasma-facing components were observed, showing localized melting with toroidal asymmetries.

Abstract

The Joint European Torus (JET, Culham, UK) is the largest tokamak in the world. JET has been upgraded over the years and recently it has also become a test facility of the components designed for ITER, the next step fusion machine under construction in Cadarache (France). At JET, the neutron emission profile of Deuterium (D) or Deuterium-Tritium (DT) plasmas is reconstructed using the neutron camera (KN3). In 2010 KN3 was equipped with a new digital data acquisition system (DAQ) based on Field Programmable Gated Array (FPGA). According to specifications, the DAQ is capable of high rate measurements up to 0.5 MCps. A new compact broadband spectrometer (KM12) based on BC501A organic liquid scintillating material was also installed in the same year and implements a similar DAQ as for KN3. This article illustrates the observations on the DAQ high count rate performance of both KN3 and KM12 in the latest JET D plasma experiments related to hybrid scenario and runaway electrons. For the latter, >1 MCps event rate was achieved with consequences on the behavior of the FPGA and on the reliability of the measurements. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
