Uni. in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic Energetic Particle (EP) driven plasma modes resulting from interaction of shear Alfvén waves with fast (i.e. comparable to plasma Alfvén velocity VA) ions generated by fu- sion reactions, NBI or ICRH heating [1] are capable of causing fast particle losses, hence negatively affecting the plasma per- formance or having detrimental effects on plasma-facing components or vacuum vessel [2]. A number of comprehensive reviews has already been published, describing properties of EP modes, their appearance, excitation and damping mechanisms, etc. (e.g. [1, 2, 3]). The modes are not trivially expected to appear in ohmic plasmas, however, plasma oscillations bearing their typical signatures have been re- ported in plasmas without an apparent source of EP on a number of devices (such as TFTR [5], ASDEX-U [6], MAST [7], TUMAN-3M Figure 1: High-frequency magnetic fluctuations.

  • Lyra' Divertor
    ENERGY AND PARTICLE CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ASDEX UPGRADE `LYRA' DIVERTOR M. Kaufmann, H-S. Bosch, A. Herrmann, A. Kallenbach, K. Borrass, A. Carlson, D. Coster, J.C. Fuchs, J. Gafert, K. Lackner, J. Neuhauser, R. Schneider, J. Schweinzer, W. Suttrop, W. Ullrich, U. Wenzel, and ASDEX Upgrade team Max-Planck-Institut fÈurPlasmaphysik, EURATOM-IPP Association, Garching und Berlin, Germany Abstract In 1997 the new `LYRA' divertor went into operation at ASDEX Upgrade and the neutral beam heating power was increased to 20 MW by installation of a second injector. This leads to the relatively high value of P/R of 12 MW/m. It has been shown that the ASDEX Upgrade LYRA divertor is capable of handling such high heating powers. Mea- surements presented in this paper reveal a reduction of the maximum heat ¯ux in the LYRA divertor by more than a factor of two compared to the open Divertor I. This reduction is caused by radiative losses inside the divertor region. Carbon radiation cools the divertor plasma down to a few eV where hydrogen radiation losses become signi®cant. They are increased due to an effective re¯ection of neutrals into the hot separatrix region. B2-Eirene modelling of the performed experiments supports the experimental ®ndings and re®nes the understanding of loss processes in the divertor region. 1. INTRODUCTION The width of the scrape-off layer (SOL) does not necessarily increase in proportion to the size of the device. This poses severe problems for the power exhaust in a fusion reactor. If we take ITER as described in the ®nal design report (FDR) [1], a power ¯ow across the separatrix in the order of 100 to 150 MW might be needed to stay in the H-mode [2].

Zohm and the ASDEX Upgrade Team Max-Planck-Institut fur¨ Plasmaphysik, Boltzmannstr. 2, 85748 Garching, Germany email: [email protected] Abstract. Full W-coating of the plasma facing components of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in 2007 ini- tially prevented H-mode operation with little or no gas puff, due to collapses driven by W accumulation, also due to a lack of adequate central wave heating. Additionally, the limits for power loads to the di- vertor were reduced. Under these conditions low density, high beta plasmas with significant external current drive were virtually impossible to operate, i.e. the operational window for advanced tokamak (AT) research was effectively closed. To recover this operational window several major achievements were necessary: the understanding of the changes in pumping and recycling, the change to a full W divertor capable to handle higher power loads, a substantial increase of the ECRH/CD power and pulse length to avoid W accumulation and to adjust the current profile and, finally, new or upgraded diagnostics for the current profile, since the original MSE system turned out to be heavily disturbed by polarizing re- flections on W-coated surfaces. With these efforts it was possible to recover improved H-mode operation as well as to develop a new scenario for fully non-inductive operation at q95 = 5:3, bN of 2.7 and 50% of bootstrap current.

  • Final Report
    DOE/S-0081 Fusion Policy Advisory Committee (FPAC) FINAL REPORT September 1990 Report of the Technical Panel on Magnetic Fusion of the Energy Research Advisory Board Washington, D.C. 20585 Fusion Policy Advisory Committee United States Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20585 (202) 586-5444 September 25, 1990 Admiral James D. Watkins The Secretary of Energy U.S. Department of Energy Washington, D.C. 20585 Dear Admiral Watkins: I am pleased to submit to you the final report of your Fusion Policy Advisory Committee. It presents a fusion policy that the Committee believes is in the best interests of the Nation in its pursuit of a secure energy future. After subjecting the fusion program to close scrutiny, the Committee believes that there are persuasive reasons for the U.S. to commit to a responsible, goal- oriented fusion energy development program. The successful development of this energy source would be of great value to the U.S. and indeed to the citizens of all Nations. This report presents a conceptual program plan that can achieve the goals of at least one operating Demonstration Power Plant by 2025 and at least one operating Commercial Power Plant by 2040. This plan is fully supported by the Committee. The Committee's confidence in the future of fusion energy stems from the impressive progress that has been made in fusion energy research worldwide. We believe that the U.S. fusion program is technically ready in this decade to construct devices to demonstrate significant fusion power production in a burning tokamak plasma and ignition in an inertially confined pellet.

Up to this time the staff of the Stellarator Theory, Wendelstein 7-X Construction, and Experimental Plasma Physics divisions as well as Administration, Tech- nical Services, and the Computer Center had worked in rented offices at two different locations. Now everybody works under one roof — a roof in the shape of a wave (see Fig. 1), symbolizing the waves on the Baltic Sea. Fig. 2.

There was early optimism for a quick solution for fusion energy as there had been for fission. However, this was soon tempered by reality as the difficulty of producing and confining fusion fuel at temperatures of 100 million ◦C in the laboratory was appreciated. Fusion research has followed two main paths— inertial confinement fusion and magnetic confinement fusion. Over the past 50 years, there has been remarkable progress with both approaches, and now each has a solid technical foundation that has led to the construction of major facilities that are aimed at demonstrating fusion energy producing plasmas.
