The cryostat is a single walled vessel consisting of central cylindrical section and two end closures, a flat base structure with external reinforcements and a dome-shaped lid structure. The base structure has 8 equally spaced support legs anchored on the concrete base. The cryostat vessel design was executed to satisfy the performance and operation requirements. The mechanical penetration components with bellows were designed to restrict the displacements of all kinds of ports due to EM loads and thermal loads within the allowable limits. The major loads considered in this paper for the design of cryostat vessel are the vacuum pressure, the dead weight of vacuum vessel, PFC, and magnet which are total about 400 tons, the electromagnetic load driven by plasma disruption, and seismic loads. Based on these loads, structural analyses were performed. It was found that the maximum stress intensity was below the allowable limit, and that the cryostat vessel had buckling safety of over 5. Based on the results, structural robustness of the cryostat vessel has been proved.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":"1 1","pages":"396-399"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82914727","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}

In this paper, we analyze the mirror reflectivity changes and wavefront distortions incident on the target using several modeling approaches, depending on the nature and size of the damage. We have developed a four-layer Fresnel solver to quantify the dependence of reflectivity on the thickness of surface contaminant and mirror protective coating, and their material properties, for a relevant range of incident angles. With a lossy contaminant like carbon, it is found that reflectivity decreases with thickness mainly due to surface dissipation, but this deleterious effect is diminished towards grazing incidence. For defect size small with respect to a wavelength, we have used Kerchhoff's wave scattering theory to evaluate degradation of the beam performance.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":"8 1","pages":"118-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72635874","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 new design is intended to allow a change in profile of the divertor to accommodate a higher plasma triangularity, strengthen the inner vessel wall to survive 9.0 Tesla, 2.5 MA disruptions and, eliminate tile rotation. The thermal differentials between tiles and vessel wall, necessitated the introduction of compliance in the reinforcement hardware. Practical assembly within the vessel required manageable part size,and bolted interfaces which further reduced the strength and stiffness.

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":"11 1","pages":"133-136"},"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}

In the context of the fusion field facilities the data useful for validation are very limited because only few experimental machines are available as operating experience. To overcome this problem several integral and separate test experiments have been undertaken in the ITER program. The paper deals with the validation of the ISAS-ITER system for ITER safety analysis against the results obtained in the experimental campaign carried out during the year 2000 in the ICE (Ingress of Coolant Event) facility built in JAERI, Japan. ISAS-ITER links together the computer codes ATHENA (for thermal-hydraulic transient) and INTRA (for containment simulation). The experimental campaign investigated the discharge of water and steam from a pressurised container towards a vacuum vessel volume (VV) and a suppression tank. The VV represents the typical configuration of the plasma chamber, scaled respecting the geometrical dimensions of the ITER-FEAT design. Choked flow conditions, condensation, jet impingement and evaporation phenomena are involved in the tests reproducing different experimental conditions. ISAS-ITER post-test calculations, presented in the paper, show a quite good agreement with the ICE experimental data and the discussion of the results allows to detect the analytical model approximations that are the cause of the main discrepancies.","PeriodicalId":44192,"journal":{"name":"NINETEENTH CENTURY MUSIC","volume":"18 1","pages":"48-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87868129","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}
