The next D-T campaign will push JET ITER-like Wall (IWL) to high divertor power and energy levels. During the 2016 campaign, the Strike Point (SP) sweeping permitted relevant H-mode scenarios without exceeding the temperature limits imposed by JET Operation Instructions (JOIs). In the subsequent shutdown, six outer divertor tungsten-coated 2D carbo…

Waste-production predictions for the future demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO) are necessary to produce an accurate picture of the likely environmental and economic costs of radioactive waste disposal at end-of-life (EOL). Even during the conceptual stage of DEMO design it is important to perform waste assessment so as to avoid potential surpr…

Inventory calculations have a key role to play in designing future fusion power plants because, for a given irradiation field and material, they can predict the time evolution in chemical composition, activation, decay heat, gamma-dose, gas production, and even damage (dpa) dose. For conceptual designs of the European DEMO fusion reactor such calcu…

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…

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 …

Start-up technique reported here relies on a double mode conversion (MC) for electron Bernstein wave (EBW) excitation. It consists of MC of the ordinary (0) mode, entering the plasma from the low field side of the tokamak, into the extraordinary (X) mode at a mirror-polarizer located at the high field side. The X mode propagates back to the plasma,…

These notes are based on lectures given by one of us (J.B.T.) at the University of Texas in Austin in 1991. Part I concerns some basic features of plasma confinement by magnetic fields as an introduction to an account of plasma relaxation in Part II. Part III discusses confinement by magnetic mirrors, especially minimum- B systems It also includes …

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…

A significant functional upgrade is planned for the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) device, located at Culham in the UK, including the implementation of a notably greater neutral beam injection power. This upgrade will cause the emission of a substantially increased intensity of neutron radiation for a substantially increased amount of time up…
