Access to both High Throughput Computing (HTC) and High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities is vitally important to the fusion community, not only for plasma modelling but also for advanced engineering and design, materials research, rendering, uncertainty quantification and advanced data analytics for engineering operations. The computing re…

During the pre-conceptual design phase of fusion devices such as the European demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO), systems codes provide a fast evaluation of optimal design points and highlight high impact areas. However, determining or evaluating a design point at such an early stage comes with uncertainties in many of the design parameters. T…

One of the issues faced by future fusion devices will be high target heat loads. Alternative divertors are a potential solution to the heat loads. They have been investigated in TCV and DIII-D, and will be investigated on MAST-U. To evaluate their effectiveness, accurate target heat flux and power balance measurements are required in these machines…

Since 2010, an in-vessel calibration light source (ICLS) has been used periodically on JET to calibrate a range of diagnostics at UV, visible and IR wavelengths. During shutdowns, the ICLS (essentially an integrating sphere) is positioned within the vacuum vessel by the remote handling (RH) system. Following the 2013 run, several changes were made …

Disruption prediction and avoidance is necessary in future MAST-U spherical tokamak discharges to enable long-pulse plasma operation. Research examining the stability of plasmas in the MAST database utilizing proposed high quality kinetic equilibrium reconstructions and calculations with various codes, including the Disruption Event Characterizatio…

Disruption prediction and avoidance is critical in ITER and reactor-scale tokamaks to maintain steady plasma operation and to avoid damage to device components. The present status and results from the physics-based disruption event characterization and forecasting (DECAF) research effort are shown for multiple tokamak devices. Present analysis of K…

EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations of upstream density and radiative power scans in JET H-mode type plasmas in vertical target predict a linear relationship between the electron and ion temperatures, and power across the separatrix. This is in contradiction to the two-point model equations which states that the upstream temperature scales at the po…

The EUROfusion Roadmap for fusion research was recently updated and describes a clear set of missions and associated goals on the route to commercial fusion electricity. Beyond ITER, the main target of the programme is the development of DEMO, a fusion technology demonstrator which will produce substantial net electrical output, breed its own fu…

Investment in past fusion experiments has been motivated largely by the study of tokamak physics, and has been vital to provide a sound physics basis for design of a power reactor. However, meeting the challenge of realising fusion energy production will require considerable and increasing investment in facilities for testing and development of fus…
