The National Ignition Facility: Status and Plans for Laser Fusion and High-energy-density Experimental Studies
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) currently under construction at the University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a 192-beam, 1.8-megajoule, 500-terawatt, 351-nm laser for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density experimental studies. NIF is being built by the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) to provide an exp...
متن کاملStrike point control for the National Spherical Torus Experiment
This paper presents the first control algorithm for the innerand outer-strike point position for a Spherical Torus (ST) fusion experiment and the performance analysis of the controller. A liquid lithium divertor (LLD) will be installed on NSTX which is believed to provide better pumping than lithium coatings on carbon PFCs. The shape of the plasma dictates the pumping rate of the lithium by cha...
متن کاملNational Spherical Torus Experiment Liquid Lithium Divertor
Recent NSTX high power divertor experiments have shown significant and recurring benefits of solid lithium coatings on PFC’s to the performance of divertor plasmas in both Land Hmode confinement regimes heated by high-power neutral beams. The next step in this work is installation of a liquid lithium divertor (LLD) to achieve density control for inductionless current drive capability (e.g., abo...
متن کاملOverview of results from the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX)
The mission of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is the demonstration of the physics basis required to extrapolate to the next steps for the spherical torus (ST), such as a plasma facing component test facility (NHTX) or an ST based component test facility (ST-CTF), and to support ITER. Key issues for the ST are transport, and steady state high β operation. To better understand ele...
