Edge-plasmas and wall protection in RFPs (Reversed-Field Pinch)
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6789090
The Reverse-Field Pinch (RFP) has the ability to operate as a compact, moderate-to-high beta, high-power-density system. A compact system requires careful control of the particle and heat fluxes impinging on plasma-facing components. A strongly recycling, toroidal-field open divertor combined with a highly radiating (>90% of plasma heating power) core plasma is required. An open divertor configuration locates the plate near the field null to take advantage of the flux expansion and minimum poloidal asymmetries to minimize peak heat fluxes. The physics and engineering requirements are quantitatively discussed for an evolutionary sequence of impurity/ash-control schemes for AT-40M (0.4 MA) ..-->.. ZT-P (0.08 MA) ..-->.. ZTH (2-4 MA) ..-->.. FTF/RFP (10 MA) ..-->.. TITAN (18 MA). 13 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
