Liquid Lithium Wall Experiments in CDX-U
The concept of a flowing lithium first wall for a fusion reactor may lead to a significant advance in reactor design, since it could virtually eliminate the concerns with power density and erosion, tritium retention, and cooling associated with solid walls. Sputtering and erosion tests are currently underway in the PISCES device at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). To complement...
متن کاملFull toroidal imaging of non-axisymmetric plasma material interaction in the National Spherical Torus Experiment divertor.
A pair of two dimensional fast cameras with a wide angle view (allowing a full radial and toroidal coverage of the lower divertor) was installed in the National Spherical Torus Experiment in order to monitor non-axisymmetric effects. A custom polar remapping procedure and an absolute photometric calibration enabled the easier visualization and quantitative analysis of non-axisymmetric plasma ma...
متن کاملCDX-U operation with a large area liquid lithium limiter
The current drive experiment-upgrade (CDX-U) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has begun experiments with a fully toroidal liquid lithium limiter. CDX-U is a compact (R 1⁄4 34 cm, a 1⁄4 22 cm, Btoroidal 1⁄4 2 kG, IP 1⁄4 100 kA, Teð0Þ 100 eV, neð0Þ 5 10 m ) short-pulse (<25 ms) spherical torus with extensive diagnostics. The limiter, which consists of a shallow circular stainless steel ...
متن کاملElectron Bernstein Wave Research on CDX-U and NSTX
Mode-converted electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) potentially allow the measurement of local electron temperature (Te) and the implementation of local heating and current drive in spherical torus (ST) devices, which are not directly accessible to low harmonic electron cyclotron waves. This paper reports on the measurement of X-mode radiation mode-converted from EBWs observed normal to the magnetic...
متن کاملDetection of Disruptions in the High-β Spherical Torus NSTX
This paper describes the prediction of disruptions based on diagnostic data in the high-β spherical torus NSTX [M. Ono, et al., Nuclear Fusion 40, 557 (2000)]. The disruptive threshold values on many signals are examined. In some cases, raw diagnostic data can be used as a signal for disruption prediction. In others, the deviations of the plasma data from simple models provides the signal used ...
