"Enhancing the DEMO Divertor Target by Interlayer Engineering"

T.R. Barrett S.C. McIntosh M. Fursdon D. Hancock W. Timmis M. Coleman M. Rieth J. Reiser

A robust water-cooled divertor target plate solution for DEMO has to date remained elusive. Common to all contemporary concepts is an interlayer at the boundary between the tungsten armour and the cooling structure. In this paper we show by design optimisation that an effectively designed interlayer can produce dramatic gains in power handling. By …

"Testing FeltMetal as a Candidate Interlayer for an Enhanced Water-Cooled Divertor Target"

D. Hancock T. Barrett J. Foster M. Fursdon G. Keech S. McIntosh W. Timmis M. Rieth J. Reiser

The design of a divertor target for DEMO remains one of the most challenging engineering tasks to be overcome on the path to fusion power. Under the European DEMO programme, a promising concept known as Thermal Break has been developed at CCFE. This concept is a variation of the ITER tungsten divertor in which the pure Copper interlayer between Cop…
