Scenario optimization for the tokamak ramp-down phase in RAPTOR. Part B: safe termination of DEMO plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cassandre Ekta Contré, Emiliano Fable, Anna Teplukhina, Simon Van Mulders

An optimized plasma current ramp-down strategy is critical for safe and fast termination of plasma discharges in a tokamak demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO), both in planned and emergency scenarios, avoiding plasma disruptions and excessive heat loads to ...

Full-discharge simulation and optimization with the RAPTOR code, from present tokamaks to ITER and DEMO

Simon Van Mulders

Tokamak devices aim to magnetically confine a hydrogen plasma at sufficiently high pressure to achieve net energy production from nuclear fusion of light isotopes. Predictive modeling and optimization is crucial for reliable operation of tokamak reactors, ...

This paper summarizes the physical principles behind the novel three-ion scenarios using radio frequency waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). We discuss how to transform mode conversion electron heating into a new flexible ICRF technique ...

AMER INST PHYSICS2021

The initial current ramp phase of JET hybrid plasmas is used to optimise the target q-profile for main heating to allow access to high beta and avoid MHD instabilities. Mixed protium-deuterium experiments, carried out at JET since the installation of the b ...

Mixed hydrogen-deuterium plasmas on JET ILW

Henri Weisen, Mikhail Maslov

A study of mixed hydrogen-deuterium H-mode plasmas has been carried out in JET-ILW to strengthen the physics basis for extrapolations to JET D-T operation and to support the development of strategies for isotope ratio control in future experiments. Variati ...

TCV heating and divertor upgrades

Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Jean-Marc Moret, Stefano Alberti, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Alexander Karpushov, Matthieu Toussaint, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Dario Vaccaro

The operational range and the reactor relevance of the TCV experiments are being enhanced by two sets of major upgrades. The first includes the installation of neutral beam injection (NBI) and new electron cyclotron (EC) auxiliary heating sources, to reach ...

Wall conditioning is essential in tokamak and stellarator research to achieve plasma performance and reproducibility. This paper presents an overview of recent conditioning results, both from experiments in present devices and modelling, in view of devices ...

IOP PUBLISHING LTD2020

Neoclassical tearing modes (NTM) must be controlled or suppressed to prevent a degradation of the energy confinement in tokamak plasmas. This can be done applying RF-current via electron cyclotron current drive and -heating at the rational surface where th ...

Development and optimisation of advanced auxiliary ion heating schemes for 3D fusion plasma devices

Hamish William Patten

The magnetic confinement fusion devices known as the tokamak and the stellarator are progressing towards becoming viable commercial nuclear fusion reactor designs. Both ap- proaches require improvements in the applied heating sources and in the particle an ...
