A hot steam leak during baking of ASDEX Upgrade – Consequences and lessons learned

نویسندگان

چکیده

ASDEX Upgrade is a midsize tokamak operated since 1991. A scheduled maintenance and enhancement shut down done about once year. After pump leak search baking procedure started to condition the vacuum vessel for plasma operation. During operation all in-vessel components are water cooled. This cooling system also used with hot at 150 °C. one of these regular periods steam appears in November 2017. The detection has triggered controlled cool scenario. Nevertheless, between appearance identification closing 100 L escaped during from °C 65 into torus. fraction was distributed as over torus condensed coldest parts vessel, preferentially remote ports. In addition, interacts boron containing layers. resulting acid caused additional erosion. paper presents details damages, actions taken remove them well measures avoid future leak.

Pedestal Studies at ASDEX Upgrade

The ASDEX Upgrade suite of edge pedestal diagnostics has been significantly improved. A new edge ion temperature and toroidal velocity diagnostic as well as a novel diagnostic for radial electric fields (Er) have been added. The application of integrated data analysis in a probabilistic framework contributes substantially to the quality of Er and electron density profiles. The equilibrium recon...

Fast Ion Loss Diagnostic in ASDEX Upgrade

The confinement of fast particles is of crucial importance for next step fusion devices like ITER. Since fast ion losses might reduce the core heating and, in addition, cause untolerable first wall load, it is important to understand and possibly avoid them. Here, an integrated approach is presented for the analysis of neutral beam injection related fast ion losses in ASDEX Upgrade. It consists...

The compact neutron spectrometer at ASDEX Upgrade.

The first neutron spectrometer of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) was installed in November 2008. It is a compact neutron spectrometer (CNS) based on a BC501A liquid scintillating detector, which can simultaneously measure 2.45-MeV and 14-MeV neutrons emitted from deuterium (D) plasmas and γ radiation. The scintillating detector is coupled to a digital pulse shape discrimination data acquisition (DPSD) sys...

Ion orbit loss current in ASDEX Upgrade

The orbit loss current is calculated for the ASDEX Upgrade geometry using the 5D (3D in configuration space and 2D in velocity space) Monte Carlo code ASCOT. The balance between the obtained current and the analytical estimate of the return current shows an L–H transition for the normalized collision frequency ν∗i ≈ 1 as expected from analytic theory. The transition in ASDEX Upgrade, however, o...

Loss of a kidney during fetal life: long-term consequences and lessons learned.

Epidemiological studies reveal that children born with a solitary functioning kidney (SFK) have a greater predisposition to develop renal insufficiency and hypertension in early adulthood. A congenital SFK is present in patients with unilateral renal agenesis or unilateral multicystic kidney dysplasia, leading to both structural and functional adaptations in the remaining kidney, which act to m...
