The JET Real-Time Protection Sequencer (RTPS) co-ordinates responses for magnetic and kinetic actuators to protect the ITER-Like Wall from possible melting events and other undesirable scenarios. It allows programmable stop responses per pulse, based on alarms raised by other systems. The architecture combines a modular run-time application deve…

A new inversion technique is presented for the identification of plasma filaments in wide-angle visible camera data. Direct inversion of camera data onto a field aligned basis is a poorly conditioned problem which is overcome by breaking the analysis into a `psuedo-inversion’ step followed by a `point spread function correction’ step. Camera …

Internal flow behaviour during melt-pool-based metal manufacturing remains unclear and hinders progression to process optimisation. In this contribution, we present direct time-resolved imaging of melt pool flow dynamics from a high-energy synchrotron radiation experiment. We track internal flow streams during arc welding of steel and measure insta…

Remote inspection of a complex environment is a difficult, time consuming task for human operators to perform. The need to manually avoid obstacles whilst considering other performance factors i.e. time taken, joint effort and information gained represents significant challenges to continuous operation. This paper proposes an autonomous robotic so…

The evolution of the JET high performance hybrid scenario, including central accumulation of the tungsten (W) impurity, is reproduced with predictive multi-channel integrated modelling over multiple confinement times using first-principle based models. 8 transport channels are modelled predictively, with self-consistent sources, radiation and magne…

The design and unique feature of the first MAST-U fast-ion loss detector (FILD) [M. Garcia-Muñoz, Rev. Sci. Instrum 80, 053503 (2009)] is presented here. The MAST-U FILD head is mounted on an axially and angularly actuated mechanism that makes…

A detailed cross-device investigation on the role of filamentary dynamics in high density regimes has been performed within the EUROfusion framework comparing ASDEX-Upgrade (AUG) and TCV tokamaks. Both devices have run density ramp experiments at different levels of plasma current, keeping toroidal field or q95 constant in order to disentangle the …

The ability to describe the essential physics and technology elements needed to robustly simulate the operation of ITER is critical to being able to model the plasma scenarios that will run in ITER. In this paper, the Integrated Modelling & Analysis Suite (IMAS) is used to simulate the 15 MA DT baseline scenario operation, including a descripti…

One of the major challenge in the commercialisation of fusion is maintaining the powerplant reactor in a sufficiently short period of time to achieve commercial levels of plant availability. To inform the development of an appropriate remote maintenance strategy for EU DEMO, a simplified, parametric model, called the Maintenance Duration Estimator …

The preferred design of the ITER divertor target component is the monoblock, comprising a tungsten armour block through which passes a CuCrZr cooling pipe which is joined to the tungsten via a copper interlayer. This construction currently looks to be one of the favoured designs for DEMO. Ideally this structure can be assessed for structural integr…
