ITER-EDA physics design requirements and plasma performance assessments

Conference Uckan, N; Galambos, J; Wesley, J; ...

Physics design guidelines, plasma performance estimates, and sensitivity of performance to changes in physics assumptions are presented for the ITER-EDA Interim Design. The overall ITER device parameters have been derived from the performance goals using physics guidelines based on the physics R&D results. The ITER-EDA design has a single-null divertor configuration (divertor at the bottom) with a nominal plasma current of 21 MA, magnetic field of 5.68 T, major and minor radius of 8.14 m and 2.8 m, and a plasma elongation (at the 95% flux surface) of {approximately}1.6 that produces a nominal fusion power of {approximately}1.5 GW for anmore »« less

ITER EDA design confinement capability

Conference Uckan, N

Major device parameters for ITER-EDA and CDA are given in this paper. Ignition capability of the EDA (and CDA) operational scenarios is evaluated using both the 1-1/2-D time-dependent transport simulations and 0-D global models under different confinement [{chi}({triangledown}T{sub e}){sub crit}, empirical global energy confinement scalings, {chi}(empirical), etc.] assumptions. Results from some of these transport simulations and confinement assessments are summarized in and compared with the ITER CDA reference ignition scenario.

Pellet fueling technology development leading to efficient fueling of ITER burning plasmas

Journal Article Baylor, L; Combs, S; Jernigan, T; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Pellet injection is the primary fueling technique planned for core fueling of ITER [ITER Technical Basis 2002 ITER EDA Documentation Series (Vienna: IAEA)] burning plasmas. Efficient core plasma fueling with deuterium and tritium D-T is a requirement for achieving high fusion gain and it cannot be achieved with gas fueling. Injection of pellets from the inner wall has been shown on present day tokamaks to provide efficient fueling and is planned for use on ITER. Modeling of the fueling deposition from inner wall pellet injection using the Parks ExB drift model indicates that pellets have the capability to fuel wellmore »« less
