ARIES-RS divertor system selection and analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ARIES-RS divertor system is selected and analyzed. A radiative divertor approach using Ne as the radiator is chosen to reduce the maximum heat flux to B6 MW m. A 2 mm W layer is used to withstand surface erosion allowing a design life close to 3 full-power-years. This W coating on the V-alloy structure is castellated to meet structural design limits. A detailed description of the calculated heat flux distribution, thermal-hydraulics, structural analysis, fabrication methods and vacuum system design are presented. An innovative design using adjustable bolts is utilized to support the divertor plates, withstand disruption loads and allow adjustment of alignment between plates. With the exception of the concentration of Ne at the divertor, it is found that this divertor system design can satisfy all the design criteria and most of the functional requirements specified by the project. © 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.

Superconducting poloidal field magnet engineering for the ARIES-ST
The critical issues of the poloidal systems for the ARIES-ST design have been presented in this paper. Because of the large plasma current and the need of highly shaped plasmas, the poloidal field (PF) coils should be located inside the toroidal field in order to reduce their current. Even then, the divertor coils carry large currents. The ARIES-ST PF coils are superconducting using the interna...

ARIES-ST plasma-facing component design and analysis
ARIES-ST is a 1000 MW fusion power plant conceptual design based on a low aspect ratio ‘spherical torus’ (ST) plasma. The plasma-facing components include the inboard and outboard first wall, divertor plates, and plasma stability plates. Several unique aspects of ST plasma influence the engineering design. The limited inboard space precludes a full inboard divertor slot, such that substantial p...

Activation and safety analyses were performed for the ARIES-ST design. The ARIES-ST power plant includes a water-cooled copper centerpost. The first wall and shield are made of low activation ferritic steel and cooled with helium. The blanket is also made of ferritic steel with SiC inserts and Li17Pb83 breeder. The divertor plate is made of low activation ferritic steel and uses a tungsten brus...
متن کاملScrape Off Layer Physics for Burning Plasmas and Innovative Divertor Solutions
Two distinct topics concerning SOL physics are examined. First, a novel magnetic divertor geometry is presented: 1) inducing a second axi-symmetric x-point downstream of main plasma x-point. For reactor relevant coils, field line lengths from the core x-point to the wall can be increased ~2-3 times, and flux expansion can be increased ~ 5 times. 2) the potential reactor consequences of large SO...
