Neutron scattering cross sections for /sup 232/Th and /sup 238/U inferred from proton scattering and charge exchange measurements. [7 MeV, 26 and 27 MeV]

Description: Differential cross sections for the (p,n) reactions to the isobaric analog states (IAS) of /sup 232/Th and /sup 238/U targets were measured at 26 and 27 MeV. The analysis of the data was done in conjunction with the proton elastic and inelastic (2/sup +/, 4/sup +/, 6/sup +/) differential cross sections measured at 26 MeV. Because collective effects are important in this mass region, deformed coupled-channels calculations were carried out for the simultaneous analysis of the proton and neutron o… more

DiMES Studies of Temperature Dependence of Carbon Erosion and Re-Deposition in the DIII-D Divertor

Description: A strong effect of a moderately elevated surface temperature on net carbon deposition and deuterium co-deposition in the DIII-D divertor was observed under detached conditions. A DiMES sample with a gap 2 mm wide and 18 mm deep was exposed to lower-single-null (LSN) L-mode plasmas first at room temperature, and then at 200 C. At the elevated temperature, deuterium co-deposition in the gap was reduced by an order of magnitude. At the plasma-facing surface of the heated sample net carbon erosion … more

First Wall and Operational Diagnostics

Description: In this chapter we review numerous diagnostics capable of measurements at or near the first wall, many of which contribute information useful for safe operation of a tokamak. There are sections discussing infrared cameras, visible and VUV cameras, pressure gauges and RGAs, Langmuir probes, thermocouples, and erosion and deposition measurements by insertable probes and quartz microbalance. Also discussed are dust measurements by electrostatic detectors, laser scattering, visible and IR cameras, … more

Migration of Artificially Introduced Micron Size Carbon Dust in the DIII-D Divertor

Description: Migration of pre-characterized carbon dust in a tokamak environment was studied by introducing about 30 milligrams of dust flakes 5-10 {micro}m in diameter in the lower divertor of DIII-D using the DiMES sample holder. The dust was exposed to high power ELMing Hmode discharges in lower-single-null magnetic configuration with the strike points swept across the divertor floor. When the outer strike point (OSP) passed over the dust holder exposing it to high particle and heat fluxes, part of the d… more

Dust Measurements in Tokamaks

Description: Dust production and accumulation impose safety and operational concerns for ITER. Diagnostics to monitor dust levels in the plasma as well as in-vessel dust inventory are currently being tested in a few tokamaks. Dust accumulation in ITER is likely to occur in hidden areas, e.g. between tiles and under divertor baffles. A novel electrostatic dust detector for monitoring dust in these regions has been developed and tested at PPPL. In DIII-D tokamak dust diagnostics include Mie scattering from Nd… more

Assessment of problems associated with tritium containment

Description: Preventing tritium leakage across a large heat transfer area at high temperature is one of the most difficult problems associated with a D-T fusion reactor design. One of the most efficient methods to reduce the mobility of tritium is to convert it to tritiated water. Most solid breeder systems use a purge gas and assume tritium will be oxidized into the water form. For 17 Li-83Pb system, a double-walled steam generator is used. Tritium is assumed to be oxidized across the gap in between the tw… more

Neutron spectra from materials used in fusion and fusion--fission hybrid reactors

Description: The neutron leakage spectra from pulsed spheres of Cu (1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mean-free-path, mfp), Nb (1.0 and 3.0 mfp), /sup 232/Th (1.0 mfp) and /sup 238/U (0.8 and 2.8 mfp) have been measured using time-of-flight techniques. The neutron spectra from the above materials used in fusion hybrid reactors have been measured between 0.8 and 14 MeV using a stilbene scintillator, pulse shape discrimination and flight paths of around 10 meters. The measured spectra are compared with calculations carried o… more

Differential integral experiments for testing cross section evaluations for fusion reactors

Description: The conceptual design of fusion reactors and fusion-fission hybrid reactors brings into focus a large number of problems dealing with the interaction of 14-MeV neutrons with materials to be used in the design of the different components of the reactor. These components include the first wall, the blanket, the magnets and the shielding system. The accuracy of the design calculations can be assured, providing the transport codes correctly describe the interaction of 14-MeV neutrons with these mat… more

Measurements of the neutron emission spectra from spheres of N, O, W, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, and /sup 239/Pu, pulsed by 14-MeV neutrons

Description: Inspired by new detector instrumentation that is insensitive to gamma-ray background and improved deuteron-beam bunching and sweeping of the ICT accelerator, we have measured the high-energy (2 less than E/sub n/ less than 15 MeV) neutron emission spectra from spherical targets of nitrogen, oxygen, tungsten, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, and /sup 239/Pu. The targets were pulsed at the center by a nominal 14-MeV neutron source at the LLL time-of-flight facility. The neutron source was obtained from th… more

Radiation doses as a function of the thickness and shielding material surrounding a 14-MeV neutron source

Description: The neutron and gamma does for tissue approximation resulting from a 14-MeV neutron source have been calculated as a function of the shielding material and its thickness surrounding the source. The calculations have been carried out for water, concrete, and iron, for thicknesses varying between one and ten mean free paths (mfp). The calculated neutron and gamma spectra emerging from the spherical shielding materials have been compared with measurements for 1.1 to 2.0 mfp of water, 2.1 and 3.9 m… more

Far Scrape-Off Layer and Near Wall Plasma Studies in DIII-D

Description: Far scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma parameters in DIII-D depend strongly on the discharge density and confinement regime. In L-mode, cross-field transport increases with the average discharge density and elevates the far SOL density, thus increasing plasma-wall contact. Far SOL density near the low field side (LFS) of the main chamber wall also increases with decreasing plasma current and with decreasing outer wall gap. In H-mode, between edge localized modes (ELMs), plasma-wall contact is weaker… more

Description: An efficient organic cooled low activation ferritic steel first wall and shield has been designed for the D-{sup 3}He power reactor ARIES-III. The design allows removal of the large surface heat load without exceeding temperature and stress design limits. The structure is expected to last for the whole reactor life. The major concerns regarding using the organic coolant in fusion reactors have been greatly alleviated.
