Self-pumping inpurity control systems for INTOR

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6701319· OSTI ID:6701319
Two self-pumping systems have been examined for use as the INTOR impurity control system. The systems work by trapping helium in freshly deposited metal surface layers on or near the divertor plate. A slot divertor concept using vanadium or other trapping material appears to be both feasible and mechanically simple, and offers significant advantages in cost, reduced complexity, and helium pumping efficiency for the INTOR design.
