Stainless-steel 316L is one of the widely used structural materials in the nuclear industry, because of its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, very few researches can be found on its viscoplastic behavior and microstructure evolution at warm and hot deformation conditions, which hinder the possible applicat…

Thomson scattered light is polarised in the same orientation as the incident laser beam at low electron temperatures. At high temperatures (>~4keV) part of the spectrum begins to become randomly polarised. First measurement of the depolarised Thomson scattering spectrum during were obtained from JET pulses 92038-92504. This paper builds upon …

An effective disruption mitigation system in a tokamak reactor should limit the exposure of the wall to localized heat losses and to the impact of high current runaway electron beams, and avoid excessive forces on the structure. We evaluate with respect to these aspects a two-stage deuterium-neon shattered pellet injection in an ITER-like plasma, u…

We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This attenuation of the backscattered signal occurs when the wavevector of the probe beam’s electric field is not in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. Correcting …

In the quest of new materials that can withstand severe irradiation and mechanical extremes for advanced applications (e.g. fission reactors, fusion devices, space applications, etc), design, prediction and control of advanced materials beyond current material designs become a paramount goal. Here, though a combined experimental and simula…

Tokamak edge (scrape-off layer) plasmas can exhibit non-local transport in the direction parallel to the magnetic field due to steep temperature gradients.This effect along with its consequences has been explored at equilibrium fora range of conditions, from sheath-limited to detached, using the 1D kinetic electron code SOL-KiT, where the electrons…

SPIDER (Source for the Production of Ions of Deuterium Extracted from a Radio frequency plasma) is the full scale prototype for the ITER Heating Neutral Beam (HNB) source. Driven by four driver coil pairs powered by oscillators the SPIDER source plasma exhibits fluctuations in a range of frequencies that have been observed by Langmuir probes and So…

An initial safety analysis of a preliminary DEMO tritium fuel cycle has been undertaken using functional failure mode and effects analysis (FFMEA) to create accident scenarios for evaluation. A total of ten scenarios were developed and analysed based upon the current technology planned for the tritium fuel cycle. The findings indicate that the pote…

The MAST Upgrade tokamak has a suite of foil bolometers to measure the total radiated power from the plasma. Arrays of bolometers provide coverage of the main chamber and lower divertor radiation. Data is digitised and processe…

We present a Density Functional Theory-based cluster expansion model to predict the configurational energy of a multicomponent W-Ta-Cr-V-Hf quinary alloy. Coupled with Monte Carlo simulations we show that the model reproduces experimental observations. We analyze the thermodynamic properties of the W.31Ta.34Cr.05V.27Hf.03 system and observe two ph…
