Tungsten, a plasma-facing material for future fusion reactors, may be exposed to air during abnormal operation or accidents. Only limited information is available on the evolution of related oxide phases. This work addresses the effect of substrate orientation on structural variations of tungsten oxides. Annealing experiments in an argon-oxygen atm…

Alfven eigenmodes driven by energetic particles are routinely observed in tokamak plasmas. These modes consist of poloidal harmonics of shear Alfven waves coupled by inhomogeneity in the magnetic field. Further coupling is introduced by 3D inhomogeneities in the ion density during the assimilation of injected pellets. This additional coupling modi…

Two high purity tungsten powders, produced via different manufacturing techniques, were characterized to determine size distribution, morphology, thermal properties and flow characteristics and thus, the likely suitability for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) production. Specimens from duplicate builds were produced with the two powders and character…

We study the amplitude modulation of the radial electric field constructed from the Langmuir probe plasma potential measurements at the edge of MAST. The Empirical Mode Decomposition technique is applied, which allows us to construct fluctuations on temporal scales of plasma turbulence, the Geodesic Acoustic Mode and these associated with the res…

This report covers the initial progress on the development of material property handbook (MPH) of baseline CuCrZr, within the Materials Engineering Data and Design Integration (MAT-EDDI) of EUROfusion Material Database and Handbook group. Initial drafting of the baseline CuCrZr MPH structure is presented, with inclusion of available data, figure…

Guidelines are presented for the recommended method of assessing by analysis the structural integrity of divertor plasma facing components (PFCs) under high heat flux (HHF) loads. The objective is to enable analysis to provide greater supporting evidence for PFC qualification (which for ITER is currently achieved by test alone) and to provide reaso…

Deuterium pellets are injected into initially pure hydrogen H-mode plasma in order to control H:D isotope mixture. The pellets are deposited in outer 20% of minor radius, similar to that expected in ITER creating transiently hollow electron density profiles. The isotope mixture of H:D ~ 45:55% is obtained in the core with pellet fuelling throughput…

Ion cyclotron emission (ICE) is detected from all large toroidal magnetically con ned fusion (MCF) plasmas. It is a form of spontaneous suprathermal radiation, whose spectral peak frequencies correspond to sequential cyclotron harmonics of energetic ion species, evaluated at the emission location. We fi rst present an account of the worldwide exper…

We have modelled self-consistently the most efficient ways to fuel ITER Hydrogen (H), Helium (He) and Deuterium-Tritium (DT) plasmas with gas and/or pellet injection with the integrated core and 2D SOL/divertor suite of codes JINTRAC. As far as we are aware, for ITER this is the first time modelling of the entire plasma has been carried out to f…

During the 2015-2016 JET campaigns many efforts have been devoted to the exploration of high-performance plasma scenarios envisaged for DT operation in JET. In this paper we review various key recent hybrid discharges and model the combined ICRF+NBI heating. These deuterium discharges with deuterium beams had the ICRF antenna frequency tuned to mat…
