The status of the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion file (JEFF) is described. JEFF-3.1 comprises a significant update of actinide evaluations, materials evaluations that have emerged from various European nuclear data projects, the activation library JEFF-3.1/A, the decay data and fission yield sub-libraries, and fusion-related data files from the…

The development of the Single Aperture. Single Gap 1 MV accelerator (SINGAP) is being carried out on the 1 MV test bed at the DRFC, CEA Cadarache, France. This paper reports on the latest performance achieved with the prototype, "ITER-like" accelerator, 730 keV, 120 A/m 2 D", and of on-going measurements of the beam "halo" fraction, »10%. It revie…

This chapter reviews multichannel broadband measurement of the soft-X-ray radiation and total radiation in magnetically confined fusion plasma experiments. Common detector types used (including bolometers), details of their application, and interpretation of their measurements are described. An introduction is given to the application of computed t…

The need to protect operators and to control the spread of contamination during Joint European Torus (JET) machine maintenance leads to the generation of soft housekeeping materials contaminated with tritium. These materials consist mostly of various plastics. A portion of the material falls into the category of intermediate-level waste and might n…

Several methods of decontamination, such as melting, heating with flame, isotopic exchange with gaseous hydrogen, replacement with hydrogen, and thermal desorption under moist gas, were tested on stainless steel, INCONEL, beryllium, copper, and aluminum bronze contaminated with tritium. The detritiation methods were assessed with respect to the fra…

Type-I edge-localized modes (ELMs) have been mitigated at the JET tokamak using a static external n 1 perturbation field generated by four error field correction coils located far from the plasma. During the application of the n 1 field the ELM frequency increased by a factor of 4 and the amplitude of the D signal decreased. The energy loss per ELM…

There is a comprehensive, closely-interlinked electron Bernstein wave (EBW) programme on MAST covering heating experiments, plasma start-up studies, plasma emission measurements, theory and modelling. In this paper we report on proof-of-principle EBW heating experiments conducted on MAST with a 60 GHz, 1 MW gyrotron complex. A 28 GHz (200 kW) EBW s…

A tight-binding based bond-order potential BOP has been constructed for the fcc transition metal iridium that includes explicitly only d orbitals in the evaluation of the total energy.We show that hybridization between the nearly free electron sp band and the unsaturated covalently bonded d orbitals is important in determining the relative stabilit…

The Kamaboko III negative ion source, which was designed and built by JAERI, Naka, Japan, is a model 25% in linear dimensions of the reference design ion source for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITER neutral beam injectors. The ion source is a magnetic multi-pole, arc discharge, source with 12 tungsten filaments. Cesium is ad…
