Design Windows and Cost Analysis on Helical Reactor

چکیده
Based on the recent experiment results of LHD and the magnet technology-cost basis developed for ITER construction, the design window of helical reactors are analyzed. For searching design windows and investigating their economical potential, we have developed a mass-cost estimating model linked with system design code (HeliCos). We found that the LHD-type helical reactor has the technically and economically attractive design windows, where the major radius is increased as large as for the sufficient blanket space, but the magnetic stored energy is decreased to reasonable level because of lower magnetic field with the convenient physics basis of H factor near 1.1 to the ISS04 scaling and beta value of 5%.

Electron density measurement remains indispensable to control fueling on a DEMO reactor. For steadystate operation of the DEMO reactor, density measurement should be highly reliable and accurate. A dispersion interferometer and a Faraday polarimeter are free from measurement errors caused by mechanical vibrations. Hence combination of the two diagnostics yields a suitable system for density mea...
