In a snowflake (SF) divertor, two magnetic field nulls are placed close to each other, creating four strike points (SPs) compared to two in a standard X-point divertor. In preparation for MAST-U experiments, magnetic configurations with the standard and SF divertors with various locations and separation distances of the nulls were modeled using …

Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) is a very flexible auxiliary heating method for tokamak plasmas, capable of being efficiently coupled to the various plasma configurations required in the Tritium and Deuterium–Tritium Experimental campaign (DTE2) to be undertaken in the JET device. In particular, experiments for high fusion yield and alpha particl…

MAST pedestal data has been analysed, where a pedestal database of 892 shots was obtained, using the new upgraded MAST Thomson Scattering (TS) diagnostic. Various ELM types are discussed, where characteristics and trends of MAST pedestals are shown. The data from the upgraded TS diagnostic confirms pedestal characteristics found in earlier analy…

The impact of plasma shaping through magnetic well modifications on the stability of resistive ballooning modes in tokamaks is analysed, also including finite diamagnetic flows. Various limiting cases of the dispersion relation, obtained by matching the averaged ballooning equation across the ideal and resistive layers, are analysed. It is found th…

During the design process of fusion reactors it is desirable to rapidly prototype different design concepts and assess their suitability against a range of high level requirements. This helps to narrow the design window and scope out potential designs which can undergo further more detailed analysis. The Paramak is an open-source tool that aims …

The disruption mitigation system at ITER will include four shattered pellet injectors (SPI), which will be dedicated to the mitigation of electro-magnetic loads (EML), thermal loads and the avoidance and suppression of runaway electrons. Recently the JETILW was equipped with an SPI with a wide capability. Specifically: pellet diameter d = [4.57, 8.…

In this study, radiation-induced precipitation of transmutation products is addressed via the development of a new solute and vacancy concentration dependant Ising model for the W-Re-Os system. This new model includes interactions between both Os and Re atoms, thus facilitating more representative simulations of transmutation in fusion reactor comp…

In this work, we use reduced and perturbative models to examine the stability of TAEs during the ITB afterglow in JET experiments designed for the observation of alpha driven TAEs. We demonstrate that in JET-like conditions, it is sufficient to use an incompressible cold plasma model for the TAE to reproduce the experimental adiabatic features…
