    There is an increasing need to model plasma inter- action with complex engineered surfaces, notably to verify that power deposition rates are acceptable. The SMARDDA algorithm has been developed to meet this requirement, with particular reference to the neutral beam ducts that feed into the vacuum vessels of tokamaks. Application to limiters and di…

    Derek Robinson was a leading UK plasma physicist of his generation. After an early success in measuring the electron temperature in the ZETA plasma through the Thomson scattering of laser light, he became a key member of the team from Culham Laboratory sent to Moscow in 1968 to verify the high temperatures claimed by the Russians for their T3 tokam…

    Many of the ITER diagnostic systems will be mounted in the equatorial and upper ports of the torus, supported by removable structures known as 'port plugs'. The port plugs support the diagnostics and provide functions of baking, cooling, and neutron shielding. They must operate reliably in the demanding ultra-high vacuum, high radiation environment…
