In-vessel components for initial operation of JT-60SA.

Minimum sets of in-vessel components were installed for initial operation of JT-60SA in order to product and control the plasma and to know the plasma basic information, including inboard first wall, upper divertor, protection limiter, glow electrodes and magnetic sensors. All of magnetic sensors were installed within the required accuracy with in-situ measurement with laser tracker. The inboard first wall and the upper divertor were installed for the limiter configuration at the plasma initiation and the divertor configuration, respectively. They have carbon tiles as the first wall, which must be installed with accuracy of ± 1 mm in order to avoid the heat concentration. However, the vacuum-vessel wall had some deformation. Therefore, we measured in advance with laser tracker the position of the vacuum vessel where the bases of the inboard first wall and upper divertor would be welded. By using these position data and 3D CAD, we customized all bases. Owing to these procedures, we could install the first wall with required accuracy. Also, all other components were installed with required accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
