Transport phenomena in tokamak plasmas strongly limit the particle and energy confinement and represent a crucial obstacle to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of transport studies, three topics have been tackled in the present the ...
Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) experiments have been carried out in JET D-T plasmas using scenarios applicable to reactors. Deuterium minority heating in tritium plasmas is used for the first time and produces 1.66 MW of D-T fusion power for an ICR ...
The Joint European Torus (JET) has recently operated with deuterium-tritium (DT) mixtures, carried out an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) physics campaign in hydrogen, deuterium, DT and tritium, installed the Mark IIGB 'Gas Box' div ...
Industry benefits in a number of different ways from the research and technology activities of the European Fusion Programme, overseen by the European Commission. These benefits range from: winning contracts to supply equipment and services to fusion labor ...
An electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system is presently under construction at Commissariat A l'Energie Atomique (CEA) Cadarache for the Tore Supra experiment. The generator is planned to be made of six gyrotrons giving RF waves with a frequency ...
The development of high power CW gyrotrons for ECRH heating of fusion relevant plasmas has been in progress for several years in a joint collaboration between different European research institutes and an industrial partner. Two development are on going, a ...
The gyrotron system for ECH and burn control on ITER requires at least 50MW of RF power at frequencies near 170GHz operating in CW. To meet these requirements, high efficiency gyrotron tubes with greater than or equal to 1MW power output capability are nec ...
Planned experiments in the Joint European Torus [Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Research, Proceedings, 13th International Conference, Washington, D.C., 1990 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1991), Vol. 1, p. 27] (JET) with deuterium-triti ...
