Times Cited Count：11 Percentile：51.68(Instruments & Instrumentation)A prototype YAG laser system for the edge Thomson scattering system in ITER has been newly developed. Performance of the laser amplifier was improved by using flow tubes made of samarium-doped glass; the small signal gain reached 20 at its maximum. As a result, an output energy of 7.66 J at 100 Hz was successfully achieved, and the performance exceeded the target performance (5 J, 100 Hz).

For a risk assessment model of an engineering system, the uncertainties in the model inputs propagate through the model and lead to the uncertainty in the model output. In order to evaluate the model output uncertainty and the contribution of each model input to the output uncertainty, the computer code GSALab, which is based on Monte Carlo simulations, has been developed. It is composed of three parts, namely, random samples generation, uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis. In the part of sensitivity analysis, several global sensitivity indicators, including the popularly used variance-based indicators, are implemented. In addition, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of GSALab has been developed for the user's convenience. In addition to risk assessment models, it is also possible to use GSALab for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a wide class of mathematical models.

A diagnostic of fusion-generated alpha-particles is important to understand burning plasma physics, however, an effective measurement method has not yet been established. A collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic CO
laser is being developed to establish a diagnostic method of confined alpha-particles. To realize the CTS diagnostic, a high-repetition Transversely Excited Atmospheric (TEA) CO has been developed. In order to obtain single-mode output, which is needed for the CTS diagnostic, seed laser is injected to the cavity with an unstable resonator. Using this technique, output energy of 17J with the frequency of 15 Hz has been achieved with single-mode output. These results gives a prospect for the CTS diagnostic on International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which requires energy of 20 J with the repetition rate of 40 Hz. Proof-of-principle test is being performed with the improved laser system on the JT-60U tokamak.

High power and high repetition CO laser has been developed for collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic to establish a diagnostic method of confined 
-particles in burning plasmas. Pulse energy of 17 J at a repetition rate of 15 Hz has been achieved in a single-mode operation. This result gives a prospect for the CTS diagnostic on International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which requires energy of 20 J with repetition rate of 40 Hz. The laser injection test into the vacuum vessel of the JT-60U tokamak has been carried out to check the electric noise and stray signals of the receiver system using the new CO laser without plasma. As a result, electrical noise has been decreased, however, stray signal due to multimode oscillation has been observed in about 30% of the pulses and a further improvement of the laser is needed.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：26.87(Nuclear Science & Technology)A diagnostic of fusion-generated -particles is important for the understanding of their contribution to plasma heating and plasma instabilities in burning plasmas. However, an effective measurement method has not yet been established. In International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), measurement of velocity and spatial distributions of confined -particles requires temporal resolution of 0.1 s and spatial resolution of a/10, where a is the plasma minor radius of ITER. A collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic for the measurement of particles is being developed using carbon dioxide (CO) lasers. The CTS based on the CO laser (wavelength 10.6 
m) has an advantage of small plasma refraction, simplifying the tracking of the scattered radiation. To realize the CTS diagnostic, a high-repetition Transversely Excited Atmospheric (TEA) CO laser is being developed. The laser was designed based on a commercially available laser, TEA CO marking laser. Maximum output energy of 36 J has been obtained with a cavity configuration of stable resonator. In order to obtain single-mode output, which is needed for CTS diagnostic, seed laser is injected to the cavity with unstable resonator. Using this technique, output energy of 10 J at a frequency of 10 Hz has been achieved with single-mode output. Proof-of-principle test will be performed with the improved laser system on the JT-60U tokamak. In this paper, we will describe development of the new TEA laser system, measurement results of the CTS on the JT-60U tokamak. Application of the CTS diagnostic to the mirror systems will be also described.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：35.58(Instruments & Instrumentation)A collective Thomson scattering (CTS) technique based on a pulsed CO laser is being developed in order to establish a diagnostic method of confined -particles in burning plasmas. In International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), measurement of velocity and spatial distributions of confined -particles requires temporal resolution of 0.1 s and spatial resolution of a/10, where a is plasma minor radius. A new laser system (Energy 
10J, repetition 10Hz) has been developed based on a commercially available laser (Shibuya Kogyo Co., Ltd, SEL4000) to meet the requirement of temporal resolution of ITER and to improve a signal-to-noise ratio. The laser has unstable resonator with a cavity length of 4 m and discharge electrodes with heat exchanger of laser gas for high-repetition operation. Proof-of-principle test of the CTS technique will be performed with the new laser system on JT-60U (JAEA Tokamak 60 - Upgrade).

Progress in ITER diagnostics development in Japan is presented. (1) Micro Fission Chamber: A bending test of the mineral insulated cable has been carried out since its smallest bending radius would be 12 cm in the vacuum vessel. It has been confirmed that no damage has been observed even at the bending radius is small as 10 cm. (2) Thomson Scattering (Edge): It has been confirmed that the prototype YAG laser amplifier satisfies the target performance of ITER requirement. (3) Poloidal Polarimeter: Study of retro-reflectors in the first wall modules and the divertor cassette has been progressed. (4) Impurity Influx Monitor (Divertor): Mechanical designs of mirror box and optical shutter in the divertor cassette have been designed. (5) Upper Port Plug: For the generic design of the upper port plug (UPP), mesh modeling of UPP has been performed for the E-M analysis. Application of HIP (Hot Isostatic Press) method for manufacturing of UPP has been proposed.
