The microwave source gyrotron VGA8000A19 capable of delivering 200 kW CW is commissioned and tested with a water dummy load for pulsed operation. The output mode of the gyrotron (TE/sub 02/) is externally converted to the HE/sub 11/ mode with the help of a mode converter and Matching Optics Unit of the transmission line. The transmission line consists of a mode converter, MOU, DC breaks, mitre bend, polarizer unit and different sizes of corrugated waveguides. The total transmission loss of the transmission line including 10 m long waveguides is measured to be less than 1.1 dB. The burn patterns at different locations of the transmission line confirm the mode purity to be better than 93% in the TE/sub 02/ mode. The transmission line terminates at a launcher box through a barrier window. The ECRH launcher consists of two mirrors to focus the microwave beam at the plasma center. The first mirror is convex while the second mirror is a concave focusing mirror. The mirrors are designed based on quasi optical analysis of the launcher system. The focal length of second mirror is 392.9 mm, which focuses the microwave beam to 35 mm (beam waist radius) at the plasma center. Beam steering in the plasma volume is restricted to /spl plusmn/2/spl deg/. The gyrotron is tested up to /spl sim/80 kW output power. A hard-wired interlock for various fault conditions, operates a rail-gap crowbar in less than 10 /spl mu/S to protect the gyrotron. The gyrotron output is coupled to the tokamak Aditya (O-mode, perpendicular launch from low field side) and successful breakdown of the neutral gas is observed at different tokamak parameters. The paper describes the technical aspects of commissioning of the ECRH system and breakdown results on Aditya.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83847489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The N-NBI increased the current drive efficiency up to 1.55/spl times/10/sup 19/ A/m/sup 2//W at 360 keV and enhanced the fusion triple product up to n/sub i/(0)/spl tau//sub E/T/sub l/(0)/spl sim/3.0/spl times/10/sup 20/ keV sm/sup -3/ during, a full current drive condition. Increasing the plasma triangularity extended the duration of a plasma with /spl beta//sub N//spl sim/2.7 up to /spl sim/60 /spl tau//sub E/. The EC heating in combination with lower hybrid wave injection produced a very high electron temperature of /spl sim/26 keV for a reversed shear plasma. For reversed shear plasmas, the formation and sustainment of a central current hole was also discovered.

For the modification of JT-60, a fully superconducting tokamak, JT-60SC, is planned to further economical and environmental attractiveness in a tokamak DEMO reactor.

The starting point of the work has been to fabricate and join matched pairs of SiC/sub f//SiC/sub m/ composites. The composites were joined in a microwave heating environment using preceramic polymer slurry as the joining material. Several key properties of these composites and joints were investigated, including measurements of density, flexural stress, and thermal conductivity. Measurements of our very first batch of products showed the average flexural stress for the intrinsic material at room temperature was 287.1 MPa. The composite exhibited crack deflection during fracture at room temperature. At 1100C, the average flexural stress dropped to 103.7 MPa and the composite exhibited brittle fracture. We obtained the in-plane thermal conductivity of the intrinsic material was 13.3 W/m-K at room temperature and 8.7 W/m-K at 1000C. The cross-plane thermal conductivity was 3.8 W/m-K at room temperature and 4.1 W/m-K at 1000C. Butt-joined bend bars had an average flexural stress of 31.9 MPa. Dovetail-joined bend bars had an average flexural stress of 39.0 MPa. The maximum value obtained for the dovetail-joined bend bars was 48.1 MPa. Optimization of the process parameters and detailed characterization are in progress to build a strong database and yield high-quality products for first wall structural material.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78137997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noll","doi":"10.1109/FUSION.2002.1027718","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/FUSION.2002.1027718","url":null,"abstract":"In view of the substantial modification in the JET plasma facing components foreseen for the 2004 shutdown, the design criteria for in-vessel components have been updated building up on the operational experience with divertor plasmas gained since the early '90s. Typically the most demanding design loads occur during disruptions and vertical displacement events (VDEs). In fast disruptions (e.g. density limit driven) the largest contribution to the loads comes from currents induced by fast change of the poloidal field, which tends to be proportional to the plasma current decay rate, the maximum of which has been observed to be linear with the pre-disruption plasma current. This implies that in the fastest events the current quench has a fixed duration at JET, about 10 ms. Usually VDEs take place on a longer time scale, and therefore halo currents determine the worst loading condition in these cases. Analysis of recent VDE data confirmed the previously observed magnitude of asymmetries: the toroidal peaking factor (TPF) up to 1.8 in upward VDEs and up to 1.4 in downward VDEs; the ratio average poloidal halo to initial plasma current (f) up to 23% in upward VDEs and up to 30% in downward VDEs. Experimental evidence to justify the new criteria and recipes on how to apply them to JET are included. The data used for the revision of the design criteria are discussed and compared with the assumptions used in the design of the components already present in the JET vacuum vessel.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80520710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased power handling capability in an ECH launcher requires adding mass or active cooling to the mirrors. The additional forces on the moveable mirror resulting from either approach typically require a compromise between the power handling capability and the steering capability. The P2001 launcher, designed by PPPL for DIII-D, will launch two 800kW beams for 10 seconds every 10 minutes. Fully independent poloidal and toroidal steering during and between pulses, and a fast poloidal scan capability, will be provided. These design requirements are satisfied by the use of an innovative steering mechanism, which covers the entire scanning range about two axes and is strong enough to withstand the electromagnetic forces on the mirror. An innovative mirror design uses high thermal conductivity materials arranged in a manner that limits the eddy currents during a disruption. In this paper, the design of the P2001 launcher is presented, along with performance calculations. Design features relevant to advanced fusion experiments are highlighted and discussed.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91298336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transmitter will use twelve 250 kW klystrons operating simultaneously which will result in a total directed power of nearly 3 MW for a planned pulse width of 5 seconds. An expected upgrade of four additional klystrons will result in a total directed power of 4 MW. All klystrons will be powered in parallel by a single solid-state pulse-step-modulated (PSM) power supply with a rating of 50 kV and 208 amperes.
