A 1D model of an RF driven ion source is presented and is based on the ionisation of thermal electrons. The RF source differs from traditional filament and arc ion sources because there are no primary electrons present, and is simply composed of an antenna region (driver) and a main plasma discharge region. However the model does still make use …

JET is an experimental fusion reactor consisting of magnetically confined, high temperature plasma insidea large ultra-high vacuum chamber. The inside of the chamber is protected from the hot plasma withtiles made from beryllium, tungsten, carbon composites and other materials bolted to the vessel wall.The study was carried out in response to a JET…

A summary of negative ion development work being presently undertaken at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) is given. The Small Negative Ion Facility (SNIF) has an RF driven volume ion source with beam extraction at energies up to 30keV. The extracted beam of Hions has an associated co-extracted electron beam with an electron to ion ratio o…

The traditional method for static strength assessment of structures uses elastic stresses computed along critical ligaments and then divided into categories depending on their nature e.g. bending/membrane and primary/secondary. More recently, highly realistic plastic simulations are possible using FE (finite elements) which offer useful advantages …

A one dimensional model of the magnetic multipole volume plasma source has been developed for application to intense ion/neutral atom beam injectors. The model uses plasma transport coefficients for particle and energy flow to create a detailed description of the plasma parameters along an axis parallel to that of the extracted beam. In this paper …

The JET ITER-like Wall (ILW) provides the same plasma facing component configuration as ITER during its active phase: beryllium in the main chamber and tungsten in the divertor. Moving from a carbon-based wall to an all metal wall requires some operational adjustment. The reduction in radiation at the plasma edge and in the divertor can lead to hig…

The aim of the JET ITER-like Wall Project was to provide JET with the plasma facing material combination now selected for the DT phase of ITER (bulk beryllium main chamber limiters and a full tungsten divertor) and, in conjunction with the upgraded neutral beam heating system, to achieve ITER relevant conditions. The design of the bulk Be plasma fa…
