We have investigated the response of detached plasmas to multi-ms timescale power transients using 1D simulations of the scrape-off layer on a scale and parameter range relevant for reactor-scale tokamaks, such as the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). Simulations were performed using the fluid code Hermes3, employing the solver CVODE…

Neutron bombardment of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets may compromise the integrity of the magnetic confinement in future fusion reactors. The amount of damage produced by a single neutron can be predicted from the threshold displacement energies (TDE) of the constituent ions in the HTS materials, such as the Rare Earth Cuperates.…

Microstructural evolution–driven degradation governs material properties and is closely linked with defect behavior. Quantitatively characterizing defects and their evolution is essential for elucidating the underlying degradation mechanisms. To this end, the defects were introduced at room temperature using self-ion irradiation for damage lev…

Due to the extreme operating temperatures in nuclear fusion reactors, current materials exhibit a substantial mismatch in mechanical and thermal properties between the tungsten plasma-facing material and the CuCrZr heat sink cooling system. Therefore, a thermal barrier interlayer is required to guarantee continuous operation. In this work, (CrVW…

Refractory High-Entropy Alloys (RHEAs) are promising candidates for structural materials in nuclear fusion reactors, where W-based alloys are currently leading. Fusion materials must withstand extreme conditions, including i) severe radiation damage from energetic neutrons, ii) embrittlement due to H and He ion implantati…

Metal melting has been widely viewed as the most promising method for detritiating metallic waste, with its potential to release more tritium than other thermal methods. Furthermore, the homogenization of the metal post melting is expected to distribute tritium throughout the ingot, reduc…

The ability to capture the isotope mass scaling of core confinement seen in experiment is validated with JETTO-TGLF for low power JET-ILW discharges across H, D and T. The cases analysed include Ohmic discharges spanning the linear and saturated Ohmic confinement regimes as well as a trio of L-modes. The TGLF saturation rules SAT1-SAT3 are seen to …

Abstract: This study focuses on improving the control system of vehicle suspension, which is critical for optimizing driving dynamics and enhancing passenger comfort. Traditional passive suspension systems are limited in their ability to effectively mitigate road-induced vibrations, often resulting in compromised ride quality and vehicle handli…

In its lifetime of around 40 years of scientific operations, JET has performed three full-scale DT experimental campaigns: one in 1997 (DTE1) and two more in a relatively quick succession in 2021 (DTE2) and 2023 (DTE3). One of the goals of these campaigns, apart from studying variety of physics effect relevant to DT plasmas, was demonstration of fu…

Multi-machine validation of full electromagnetic plasma initiation modelling with DYON was carried out by the joint modelling of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) – Integrating Operating Scenario (IOS) group. The following devices were included in the experiment database: VEST (spherical torus, copper coils, Stainless steel wa…
