"Impact of uncertainty on a HELIAS 5-B stellarator fusion power plant"

Stuart I. Muldrew Felix Warmer Jorrit Lion Hanni Lux

With a lack of plasma disruptions and current-driven instabilities, stellarators are potentially an attractive option for a fusion power plant. Previous system studies have been performed to optimise a HELIAS (HELIcal-axis Advanced Stellarator) 5-B power plant using PROCESS, however these have been based around a single design point. In…

"Diagnosing fast ion redistribution due to sawtooth instabilities using fast ion deuterium-alpha spectroscopy in the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak"

A. R. Jackson A. S. Jacobsen K. G. McClements C. A. Michael M. Cecconello

The efficient confinement of fast ions is crucial to the development of a fusion power plant. Sawtooth crashes are a manifestation of an internal kink instability, which can severely degrade this confinement. The effect of these on a fast ion population can be investigated using fast-ion deuterium-alpha (FIDA) spectroscopy, where charge exchange re…

"Indentation residual stress and evolution of fracture during FIB cross-sectioning"

Alex er J. Leide Richard. Todd David E. J. Armstrong

Focussed ion beam (FIB) milling can be used to reveal sub-surface fracture and deformation below indents in materials. However, evolution of residual stresses around the indent impression cause changes to the crack morphology during the FIB cross-sectioning procedure. Berkovich nanoindents in single crystal hexagonal (6H) silicon carbide cause radi…

"Results from the Alfvén Eigenmode Active Diagnostic during the 2019-2020 JET deuterium campaign"

R.A. Tinguely P.G. Puglia N. Fil S. Dowson M. Porkolab A. Fasoli D. Testa JET Contributors*

This paper presents results of extensive analysis of mode excitation observed during the operation of the Alfvén Eigenmode Active Diagnostic (AEAD) in the JET tokamak during the 2019-2020 deuterium campaign. Six of eight toroidally-spaced antennas, each with independent power and phasing, were successful in actively exciting stable MHD modes in 47…

"Extended Full-MHD Simulation of Non-linear Instabilities in Tokamak Plasmas"

S.J.P.Pamela G.T.A.Huijsmans A.Bhole B.Nkonga M.Hoelzl I.Krebs

Non-linear MHD simulations play an essential role in active research and understanding of tokamak plasmas for fusion energy. The development of MHD codes like JOREK is a key aspect of this research effort. In this paper, we present a fully-working version of the full-MHD model in JOREK, a significant advancement from the reduced-MHD model used for …

"On the axisymmetric stability of tokamaks with ferromagnetic walls"

O. P. Bardsley T. C. Hender

Reduced activation ferritic steels are an attractive option for use in large structural components surrounding tokamak plasmas in future fusion power plants, but their ferromagnetic response to the confining magnetic fields must be properly understood. Simultaneously, the advantages of operating at high plasma elongation push tokamak designs toward…

"Deformation heterogeneity in laser-welded Eurofer"

Allan HarteHuw DawsonDavid BowdenSimon KirkMike Gorley

The suitability of post-weld heat treatments are often measured in terms of reducing residual stress and/or ensuring hardness homogeneity. Here we use detailed digital image correlation to quantify the localised deformation behaviour of laser welded Eurofer-97 both with and without a normalising and tempering treatment. This is coupled with detaile…

During an accident with loss-of-coolant and air ingress in DEMO, the temperature of tungsten first wall cladding may exceed 1000oC and remain for months leading to tungsten oxidation. The radioactive tungsten oxide can be mobilized to the environment at rates of 10 – 150 kg per hour. Smart tungsten-based alloys are under development to…

Jan S. Wrobel  Marcin R. Zemla Duc Nguyen-Manh Par Olsson Luca Messina Christophe Domain Tomasz Wejrzanowski Sergei L. Dudarev

Point defects in body-centred cubic Fe, Cr and concentrated random magnetic Fe-Cr are investigated

using density functional theory and theory of elasticity. The volume of a substitutional

Cr atom in ferromagnetic bcc Fe is approximately 18% larger than the…
