Non-local transport bifurcations inside and around ITB were found in various JT-60U reverse shear (RS) and normal shear (NrS) plasmas and called ITB-events. The abrupt reduction of transport in the central part of the plasma column often interrupts a slow diffusive inward cold pulse propagation (CPP) in T-10. CPP is created by a cut-off of the off-axis ECRH. This phenomenon may referred to ITB-events as well. In many cases these events occur, when the central safety factor q decreases below unity. In JT-60U low-power heated RS plasmas, ITB-events are observed at the crossing of minimum of q equal to 3.5, 3, 2.5 values. Internal MHD n=1 activity has been reported earlier as ITB-events trigger in JT-60U. The present paper shows that an ITB-event is triggered by a series of small internal disruptions probably associated with q=2.5 surface in RS plasmas. In a high-poloidal-beta NrS shot, an ITB-event occurs in correlation with the start of ELMs series. The total heat flux reduces abruptly in the zone 0.3
r/a0.7. This new finding of this ITB event suggests the possibility to control the ITB formation by inducing the ELM-like MHD activity.

Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：66.09(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The preparation of the procurement specifications is being progressed for key components. Progress has been made in the preparation of the procurement specifications for key nuclear components of ITER. Detailed design of the vacuum vessel (VV) and in-vessel components is being performed to consider fabrication methods and non-destructive tests (NDT). R&D activities are being carried out on vacuum vessel UT inspection with waves launched at an angle of 20 or 30 degree, on flow distribution tests of a two-channel model, on fabrication and testing of FW mockups and panels, on the blanket flexible support as a complete system including the housing, on the blanket co-axial pipe connection with guard vacuum for leak detection, and on divertor vertical target prototypes. The results give confidence in the validity of the design and identify possibilities of attractive alternate fabrication methods.

One of the most important achievements in the VV R&D has been demonstration of the necessary fabrication and assembly tolerances. Recently the deformation due to cutting of the port extension was measured and it was shown that the deformation is small and acceptable. Further development of advanced methods of cutting, welding and NDT on a thick plate have been continued in order to refine manufacturing and improve cost and technical performance. With regard to the related FW/blanket and divertor designs, the R&D has resulted in the development of suitable technologies. Prototypes of the FW panel, the blanket shield block and the divertor components have been successfully fabricated.
