Evaluation of neutron dose rates at the TCV tokamak facility

Henri Weisen, Patrick Blanchard, Matteo Vallar

A detailed MCNP neutronics model of the building housing the TCV tokamak has been developed. Predicted dose rates have been compared to neutron dose measurements at 12 locations in the building obtained during neutral beam injection into TCV plasmas. This ...

A double-ended helicon source to symmetrize RAID plasma

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Riccardo Agnello, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Christine Stollberg, Renat Karimov, Simon Pierre Henri Vincent

Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) for post-DEMO-like reactors must achieve a neutralization efficiency (fraction neutrals/ions) above 70%. To reach this, NBIs based on negative ions are necessary and an innovative concept of this type of injector is based on ph ...

Tritium removal from JET-ILW after T and D-T experimental campaigns

Henri Weisen, Mikhail Maslov

After the second Deuterium-Tritium Campaign (DTE2) in the JET tokamak with the ITER-Like Wall (ILW) and full tritium campaigns that preceded and followed after the DTE2, a sequence of fuel recovery methods was applied to promote tritium removal from wall c ...

Rapid optimization of stationary tokamak plasmas in RAPTOR: demonstration for the ITER hybrid scenario with neural network surrogate transport model QLKNN

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Michele Marin, Simon Van Mulders

This work presents a fast and robust method for optimizing the stationary radial distribution of temperature, density and parallel current density in a tokamak plasma and its application to first-principle-based modeling of the ITER hybrid scenario. A new ...

Verification and validation procedures with applications to plasma-edge turbulence simulations

Fabio Riva

Understanding the plasma dynamics in tokamaks is of fundamental importance to reliably predict the performances of future fusion devices. Because of the complex phenomena at play, state-of-the-art simulation codes are needed to investigate the plasma dynam ...
