R&D on full tungsten divertor and beryllium wall for JET ITER-like wall project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ITER reference materials have been tested separately in tokamaks, plasma simulators, ion beams and high heat flux test beds. In order to perform a fully integrated material test JET has launched the ITER-like Wall Project with the aim of installing a full metal wall during the next major shutdown. As a result of R&D projects in 2005–2006, bulk tungsten tiles are foreseen at the outer horizontal target and tungsten coating at the other divertor tiles. In some regions of the main chamber, beryllium coated Inconel tiles and bulk beryllium tiles are utilised which include marker tiles as erosion diagnostics. This paper gives an overview of the R&D carried out in the frame of the ITER-like Wall Project on the development of an inertially cooled bulk tungsten tile design and the characterization of tungsten and beryllium coating technologies. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

"Plasma Surface Interaction Issues of an All-Metal ITER"
We assess key plasma surface interaction issues of an all-metal plasma facing component (PFC) system for ITER, in particular a tungsten divertor surface, and a beryllium or tungsten first wall. Such a system eliminates problems with carbon divertor erosion and T/C codeposition, and for an all-tungsten system would better extrapolate to post-ITER devices. The issues studied are sputtering, trans...
متن کاملDevelopment of a mirror-based endoscope for divertor spectroscopy on JET with the new ITER-like wall (invited).
A new endoscope with optimised divertor view has been developed in order to survey and monitor the emission of specific impurities such as tungsten and the remaining carbon as well as beryllium in the tungsten divertor of JET after the implementation of the ITER-like wall in 2011. The endoscope is a prototype for testing an ITER relevant design concept based on reflective optics only. It may be...
متن کاملMicroanalysis of deposited layers in the inner divertor of JET with ITER-like wall
In JET with ITER-like wall, beryllium eroded in the main chamber is transported to the divertor and deposited mainly at the horizontal surfaces of tiles 1 and 0 (high field gap closure, HFGC). These surfaces are tungsten coated carbon fibre composite (CFC). Surface sampleswere collected following the plasma operations in 2011–2012 and 2013–2014 respectively. The surfaces, as well as polished cr...

متن کاملErosion/redeposition analysis of the ITER first wall with convective and non-convective plasma transport
Sputtering erosion/redeposition is analyzed for ITER plasma facing components, with scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma convective radial transport and non-convective (diffusion-only) transport. The analysis uses the UEDGE and DEGAS codes to compute plasma SOL profiles and ion and neutral fluxes to the wall, TRIM-SP code to compute sputter yields, and REDEP/WBC code package for 3-D kinetic modeling o...
