Radiation-resistant WDM Optical Link for Thermonuclear Fusion Reactor Instrumentation
The future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is a complex installation that will require permanent monitoring and frequent maintenance operations. The high-gamma dose rates, the high neutron fluence and other radiological hazards call for the use of remotehandled equipment. The management of heavy umbilicals connecting the control systems with the remote tools is therefore...
متن کاملRadiation Tolerance Qualification for Maintenance Tasks in the Future Fusion Reactors : from Fibre-Optic Components to Robust Data Links
The future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) requires remote handling tools for its maintenance that will operate in a harsh environment. The numerous instrumentation cables for this maintenance equipment call for (de)multiplexing solutions, in order to reduce the umbilical size. Fibre-optic data links, using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, are seriously consid...
متن کاملToward the Development of Radiation-Tolerant Instrumentation Data Links for Thermonuclear Fusion Experiments
Thermonuclear reactors will require permanent monitoring under high-gamma dose rates and high neutron flux. We propose to get rid of the digital data transmission limitations in highly radioactive environments by implementing an analog fiber-optic link based on directly modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSELs). In this paper, we introduce an architecture for highly radiation-to...
متن کاملRadiation-tolerance qualification for maintenance tasks in the future fusion reactor: the FBG radiation tolerance assessment as case study
The radiation-tolerance assessment of components is required before their use in instrumentation links for the future International thermonuclear fusion reactor (ITER). In this paper, we will detail our methodology to find the most suitable components with regard to the specific ITER requirements and to evaluate the radiation-tolerance of components for the ITER instrumentation links. Our appro...
متن کاملHeavy ion driven reactor-size double shell inertial fusion targets
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is considered as an alternative to Magnetic Confinement Fusion to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. The main goal is to exploit the energy released from thermonuclear fusion reactions to produce electric energy. Heavy ion beams were proposed in 1976 as one of the possible drivers in ICF. The method consists in igniting few milligrams of deuterium-tritium...
