Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:73.71(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The performance of net-current free heliotron plasmas has been developed by findings of innovative operational scenarios in conjunction with an upgrade of the heating power and the pumping/fuelling capability in the Large Helical Device (LHD). Consequently, the operational regime has been extended, in particular, with regard to high density, long pulse length and high beta. Diversified studies in LHD have elucidated the advantages of net-current free heliotron plasmas. In particular, an internal diffusion barrier (IDB) by a combination of efficient pumping of the local island divertor function and core fuelling by pellet injection has realized a super dense core as high as 510 m, which stimulates an attractive super dense core reactor. Achievements of a volume averaged beta of 4.5% and a discharge duration of 54 min with a total input energy of 1.6 GJ (490 kW on average) are also highlighted. The progress of LHD experiments in these two years is overviewed by highlighting IDB, high-beta and long pulse.

A design of the movable material probe system for JT-60SA is proposed. The system provides the opportunity for inserting material specimens and diagnostics into the plasma vacuum vessel, and for specimens changing during experimental campaign. The system will consist of manipulator, gate-valves, working chamber and pumps. The system is under consideration to be installed in a bottom port. It will contribute to plasma-wall interaction studies in JT-60SA.

Titanium materials have been applied to beam window materials and beam dumps in large accelerator systems because of their low specific gravity, high corrosion resistance, strength, and other advantages. As the beam power becomes higher, further improvement of irradiation resistance is required. We have investigated further the properties of titanium alloys based on the -phase, and it was found that Ti-15-3-3-3 alloys have excellent irradiation resistance when subjected to ion irradiation. In order to investigate the cause of this, microstructures and point defects in this and related materials were evaluated by TEM, positron lifetime measurement, electrical resistivity, and stress-induced changes, among others. In addition, we have recently begun to develop a prototype of a titanium-based high-entropy alloy based on -titanium, which is attracting worldwide attention and is being developed, and have also begun to evaluate the emotional properties of this alloy. We have examined the various properties of this material and found that it has considerably higher strength than conventional iron- and titanium-based materials.
