The CT injection parameters optimized for fueling of ARIES-III are presented. Advantages of CT fueling with respect to other aspects of tokamak operations and uncertainties in the CT injection modeling are also discussed. From the conservative upper-limit estimation, CTs of 40 mg with 40 cm diameter can deposit fuel directly into the center and half-way of the plasma, requiring 49 MW and 14 MW, respectively.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":318951,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] The 14th IEEE/NPSS Symposium Fusion Engineering","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116570817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reapplication of the existing TFTR (Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor) power and energy facilities has been basic to all approaches. The dynamics of the power requirements for the BPX poloidal coil system suggest that the TFTR facilities would be most suitably applied to that requirement. The chief concern related to that match has been the adequacy of the 4.5-GJ energy rating of the TFTR flywheel units. The toroidal field power requirements are the greatest of the BPX subsystems and, fortunately, are sufficiently free of dynamics to allow the consideration of different approaches to providing pulse power and energy. Additional design challenges were presented by the multiplicity of plasma control scenarios incorporated in the BPX physics planning and the power response demanded of the plasma position control system. The plasma control scenarios include upper, lower, and symmetrical poloidal diverter operation as well as limiter operation. The plasma position control coils (internal to the TF bore) have a collective peak power demand of 640 MVA, require four quadrant drive, and require 1 ms voltage response.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":318951,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] The 14th IEEE/NPSS Symposium Fusion Engineering","volume":"58 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132870926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal requirements were the quality of cut necessary for rewelding, effective swarf removal, and compactness for remote handling. The designs of tools had to be compatible with the severe access restrictions imposed by the JET machine. The processes used by the tools are sawing from the inside and outside of pipes, and orbital lathe for larger pipes. Special features were created on the pipes to facilitate tool location. The blade and toolbit designs have evolved to optimize cutting forces and tool durability. Satisfactory reliability has been achieved by performing 200 h of cutting during the two year period of development. Subsequently, over 100 'hands-on' cutting operations have been made on the JET machine since 1988 and a further 150 cuts are planned for 1992. Using a programmable controller the feed rate can be changed throughout the cutting operation into a predetermined way, thereby optimizing the tools' efficiency.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":318951,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] The 14th IEEE/NPSS Symposium Fusion Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131836781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The plasma engineering and fusion-power-core design are summarized, including the major results, the key technical issues, and the central conclusions. Analyses have shown that the plasma power-balance window for D-/sup 3/He tokamak reactors is small and requires a first wall (or coating) that is highly reflective to synchrotron radiation and small values of tau /sub ash// epsilon /sub e/ (the ratio of ash-particle to energy confinement times in the core plasma). Both first and second stability regimes of operation have been considered. The second stability regime is chosen for the ARIES-III design point because the reactor can operate at a higher value of tau /sub ash// tau /sub E// tau /sub E/ approximately=2 (twice that of a first stability version), and because it has a reduced plasma current (30 MA), magnetic field at the coil (14 T), mass, and cost (also compared to a first-stability D-/sup 3/He reactor).
