Steady-State Operation of Tokamaks: Key Physics and Technology Developments on Tore Supra
نویسنده
چکیده
Important technological and physics issues related to long pulse operation required for a reactor are now being addressed in Tore Supra. experimental results in conditions where all the plasma facing components are actively cooled during pulses exceeding six minutes. Important physics issues related to continuous operation are observed in non inductively driven plasmas.

Major Progress on Tore Supra toward Steady State Operation of Tokamaks
During winter 2000-2001, a major upgrade of the internal components of Tore Supra has been completed that increased the heat extraction capability to 25 MW in steady state. Operating Tore Supra in this new configuration has produced a wealth of new results. The highlights of the 2002 long duration discharges campaign are: 4 minutes 25 seconds long discharges with an integrated energy of 0.75 GJ...

متن کاملCIEL in Tore Supra : How to Master Power and Particles on very Long Discharges
In order to prepare the next generation of tokamaks, a new goal has been assigned to Tore Supra. Initially designed for handling 15 MW of power over 30 s operation, the original generation of plasma facing components will be replaced by a set of new, high technology components, constituting the so-called "CIEL" project (French acronym for "Composants Internes Et Limiteur"), with the ultimate ai...
متن کاملSteady-State Operation
A major upgrade of the Tore Supra heat and particle exhaust capability, known as the CIEL project [P. Garin et al.,this conference] and installed during the year 2000 shutdown, will raise the heat exhaust capability to 25 MW (convected + radiated) steady-state, and the pumping capability to -4 Fa.m3/s, and will allow Tore Supra to investigate high power steady-state plasma operation, with targe...
متن کاملAssessment of Tokamak Plasma Operation Modes as Fusion Power Plants: the Starlite Study
During the past several years, the ARIES/Starlite Team has investigated the feasibility and potential features of tokamak fusion power plants. The research also has aimed at identifying both the trade-offs that lead to the optimal regime of operation for a tokamak power plant and the critical plasma physics and technology issues. During the initial phase of the Starlite study, an assessment of ...
