This article starts with a brief description of two new viewing systems with a light path which crosses the biological shield wall and are compatible with Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) operations in JET. However, it focuses on the optical modelling and engineering design of one of them which is a multiple camera system producing a wide angle view (WAV)…

When RF waves are applied in tokamaks with metal walls, sheath rectification effects associated with the fields induced in the scrape-off layer (SOL) may lead to enhanced plasma-wall interactions (i.e. heat-loads in the limiters, RF-induced impurity sources) which can endanger the integrity of the machine and limit the RF power. Although many co…

Following the first Deuterium-Tritium Experiment (DTE1) at UKAEA, modifications were investigated to the Joint European Torus’ (JET) gas introduction systems to increase the gas feed capabilities of the JET facility to better support future campaigns. The gas introduction systems comprise the gas introduction and gas distribution system (GI/GD)…

Following from the paper describing the remote wide angle viewing system compatible with Deuterium-Tritium operations. This is the second article describing a second remote line of sight, this time focusing on the imaging of the divertor region in JET. It explains in detail the optical and engineering designs of constructing an optical relay which …

The JET 2019–2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years of concerted scientific and engineering work, including the ITER-like wall (ILW: Be wall and W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully available, a major neutral beam injection upgrade providing record power in 2019–2020, and …

Several Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) schemes in DT plasma have been considered for the ITER reactor [1]. Most of these heating schemes are minority heating at fundamental frequency. In DT plasma, both reactants can also absorb RF power as majorities at fundamental n=1 or harmonic n=2 frequency. Understanding benefits of directly heatin…

The Joint European Torus (JET) is operated with the ITER-Like Wall (JET-ILW): beryllium in the main chamber and tungsten in the divertor in order to replicate materials for ITER. It was present systematic and quantitative study of tritium retention in dust and divertor tiles of ILW by means of tritium imaging plate technique to assess tritium le…

Recent experiments performed in JET at high level of plasma heating, in preparation of, and during the DT campaign have shown significant discrepancies between electron temperature measurements by Thomson Scattering (TS) and Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE). In order to perform a systematic analysis of this effect, a simple model of bipolar dis…

Accurate and consistent measurements of the electron temperature (Te) profile are paramount for current fusion experiments, like JET, and future devices, such as ITER. In high performance plasmas in JET and TFTR, electron cyclotron emission (ECE) measurements for central Te>5 keV were systematically found to be up to 20%…

Shattered pellet injection (SPI), with research started in recent years, is the current concept for the ITER disruption mitigation system (DMS) to prevent disruption-related damage. Compared with impurity SPI, pure deuterium (D2) SPI could contribute to runaway electron (RE) avoidance in ITER via a strong dilution cooling before the thermal quen…
