The Exhaust Detritiation System (EDS) of the JET Active Gas Handling System (AGHS) removes tritium from exhaust gases and contaminated air prior to discharge to stack. The system was replaced prior to JET’s tritium experimental campaign due to corrosion damage. In this paper, the following topics are presented: System function and de…

In the Pre-Concept Design Phase of EU DEMO, the work package TFV (Tritium – Matter Injection – Vacuum) has developed a smart and tritium self-sufficient three-loop fuel cycle architecture. Driven by the need to reduce the tritium inventory in the systems to an absolute minimum, this requires the continual recirculation of gases in loops without…

Tungsten, a plasma-facing material for future fusion reactors, may be exposed to air during abnormal operation or accidents. Only limited information is available on the evolution of related oxide phases. This work addresses the effect of substrate orientation on structural variations of tungsten oxides. Annealing experiments in an argon-oxygen atm…

The electron Bernstein wave (EBW) is typically the only wave in the electron cyclotron (EC) range that can be applied in spherical tokamaks for heating and current drive (H&CD). Spherical tokamaks (STs), which feature relatively high neutron flux and good economy, operate generally in high-ß regimes, in which the usual EC O- and X- modes are cut-o…

The plasma position and shape on the COMPASS-D tokamak have been controlled simultaneously with a 75- kHz bandwidth, hard-wired, real-time neural network. The primary network operates with up to 48 selected magnetic inputs and has been used in the vertical position control loop to control the position of the upper edge of the plasma at the radius o…
