Fusion power production in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor baseline H-mode scenarios

Journal Article Rafiq, T. ; Kritz, A. H. ; Kessel, C. E. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Self-consistent simulations of 15 MA ITER H-mode DT scenarios, from ramp-up through flat-top, are carried out. Electron and ion temperatures, toroidal angular frequency, and currents are evolved, in simulations carried out using the predictive TRANSPort and integrated modeling code starting with initial profiles and equilibria obtained from tokamak simulation code studies. Studies are carried out examining the dependence and sensitivity of fusion power production on electron density, argon impurity concentration, choice of radio frequency heating, pedestal temperature without and with E × B flow shear effects included, and the degree of plasma rotation.

High confinement/high radiated power H-mode experiments in Alcator C-Mod and consequences for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Q{sub DT} = 10 operation

Journal Article Loarte, A ; Hughes, J W ; Reinke, M L ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Experiments in Alcator C-Mod in (Enhanced D-alpha) EDA H-modes with extrinsic impurity seeding (N{sub 2}, Ne, and Ar) have demonstrated a direct correlation between plasma energy confinement and edge power flow, achieving values of H{sub 98{>=}} 1 for edge power flows only marginally exceeding the scaled power for access to H-mode confinement in these conditions. For lower Z impurity seeding (N{sub 2} and Ne), plasmas with high energy confinement are obtained with a radiative power fraction of 85% or larger and a reduction of the peak heat flux at the divertor by more than a factor of 5 compared tomore »« less

Formation and sustainment of internal transport barriers in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor with the baseline heating mix

Journal Article Poli, Francesca M. ; Kessel, Charles E. - Physics of Plasmas

Plasmas with internal transport barriers (ITBs) are a potential and attractive route to steady-state operation in ITER. These plasmas exhibit radially localized regions of improved confinement with steep pressure gradients in the plasma core, which drive large bootstrap current and generate hollow current profiles and negative magnetic shear. This work examines the formation and sustainment of ITBs in ITER with electron cyclotron heating and current drive. The time-dependent transport simulations indicate that, with a trade-off of the power delivered to the equatorial and to the upper launcher, the sustainment of steady-state ITBs can be demonstrated in ITER with the baselinemore » heating configuration.« less

Scenarios for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) steady-state and technology testing operation

Conference Galambos, J ; Peng, Y-K M ; Perkins, L J ; ...

Operational scenarios for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) steady-state and technology testing phases are identified by trade-offs among wall load, burn time, and divertor heat loads. Steady-state operation with Q {ge} 5 is limited to wall loads {ge}0.5 MW/m{sup 2} and injection powers {ge} 100 MW. Even at steady-state wall loads of 0.5 MW/m{sup 2}, the divertor heat loads are higher than predicted for the physics phase. For technology testing, hybrid operation (with simultaneous inductive and noninductive current drive) results in a wall load of 0.8 MW/m{sup 2}, with injection power of about 100 MW, and a burn timemore »« less

Evaluation of graphite/steam interactions for ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) accident scenarios

Conference Smolik, G R ; Merrill, B J ; Piet, S J ; ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental/analytical study designed to determine the quantity of hydrogen generated during an accident involving coolant leakage into the plasma chamber of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). This hydrogen could represent a potential explosive hazard, provided the proper conditions exist, causing machine damage and release of radioactive material. We measured graphite/steam reaction rates for several graphites and carbon-based composites at temperatures between 1000 and 1700{degree}C. The effects of steam flow rate and partial pressure were also examined. The measured reaction rates correlated well with two Arrhenius type relationships. We used the relationships formore »« less
