Abstract

Nickel transport in the Joint European Torus with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) is predicted using the 3D Monte-Carlo code ERO2.0, simulating the erosion and deposition of impurities in 3D geometry and utilizing hydrogenic background plasmas generated by the 2D edge fluid code EDGE2D-EIRENE. Charge exchange fluxes are obtained from the 3D neutral Monte-Carlo code EIRENE, which are modified to account for the shielding of the vacuum vessel wall by protruding plasma facing components, such as guard limiters. ERO2.0 is used to predict Ni erosion and deposition profiles for the first three JET-ILW campaigns weighted for the plasma operation time.

The primary location of nickel erosion on the Inconel vacuum vessel wall is predicted to be on the low-field side close to the midplane. The eroded nickel is predicted to be transported onto the entrance of the high-field side divertor, due to the scrape-off layer flows, where it is predicted to deposit and to form a layer on tile 1. The peak thickness of the predicted deposit layer is of the order 1-2
