Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:31.64(Nuclear Science & Technology)IFMIF is an accelerator-based neutron source for development of fusion materials. The Li target system consists of a target assembly, a Li purification system and various diagnostics. An intense deuterium beam power up to 10 MW in a footprint of 205 cm corresponds to ultra high heat flux up to 1 GW/m. To handle such an ultra high heat flux, the high-speed liquid Li flow with a velocity of 20 m/s and a concave flow configuration are necessary. According to thermal-hydraulic analysis, an induced centrifugal force (160 G) under the concave back wall of a radius of 25 cm is sufficient for IFMIF operation. To confirm the hydraulic characteristics of Li flow, water jet experiment has been done. Moreover, validation experiment in Li loop is planned. In addition, to control tritium and impurities such as C, N, O below permissible levels, a cold trap and two hot traps are used. These technologies have similarities in plasma facing components in fusion reactor. In presentation, the IFMIF Li target technology and its application of to the plasma facing component will be discussed.

Times Cited Count:18 Percentile:72.74(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Reduction of steady-state heat load in the divertor and transient one by ELMs is a crucial issue for tokamak fusion devices. High radiation loss power is necessary for the heat load reduction, and the conventional gas puffing can increase the density and the radiation loss power, but it degrades the confinement. Core plasma with high confinement should be maintained simultaneously. Impurity seeding is a secure way to enhance the radiation loss power. In JT-60U, heat load is successfully reduced by Ar injection with keeping a high confinement in ELMy H-mode plasmas. In this paper, heat load reduction, radiation enhancement, and change of ELM activity are discussed.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:74.77(Nuclear Science & Technology)A flat carbon fiber composite tile mock-up with screw tubes, which have helical fins like a nut, was fabricated aiming at further improvement of the heat removal performance of the cost-effectively manufactured divertor target for JT-60SC (modified JT-60 as a superconducting coil tokamak). The heat removal performance of the mock-up was successfully demonstrated on the JAERI Electron Beam Irradiation Stand. The estimated heat transfer coefficient of the screw tube at the non-boiling region was roughly 3 times higher than that of the smooth tube. This corresponds to 1.5 times that of the swirl tube. A heat cycle test of 10 MW/m2 showed that the mock-up with the screw tubes could withstand for 1400 cycles. These results indicate that the divertor target plate with the flat carbon fiber composite tile and the screw tube can be a promising candidate for the JT-60SC divertor target.
