Conceptual analysis of a tokamak-reactor with lithium dust jet
نویسنده
چکیده
The steady state operation of tokamak reactors requires re-radiating a substantial part of the fusion energy dissipated in plasma to make the heat loads onto the first wall more uniform and to reduce the erosion of divertor plates. One of the approaches realizing this goal uses injection of lithium dust jet into the scrape-off layer. In this paper a quantitative conceptual analysis of the reactor parameters with lithium dust jet injection is presented. The effects of the lithium on the core and SOL plasma are considered. The first results of developing the lithium jet injection technology and its application on T-10 tokamak are also presented.

متن کاملDust Grain Charging In Tokamak Plasmas
The presence of solid, micro-impurtities in tokamak plasmas has become a topic of great importance. Dust, originating from the reactor wall surfaces as a result plasma surface interactions, has the potential to cause serious safety hazards and confinement issues and therefore the transport of these particle contaminants in the plasma of an operational tokamak is therefore, a matter of great imp...
متن کاملAnalysis of beam-on-target interaction in a neutron-source test facility *
The need is urgent for a high-flux, high-energy neutron test facility to evaluate the performance of fusion reactor materials. An accelerator-based deuterium-lithium source is generally considered the most reasonable approach to a high-flux neutron source in the near future. The idea is to bombard a high-energy (20-40 MeV) deuteron beam into a lithium jet target to produce high-energy neutrons ...
