In steady-state tokamak fusion reactors, an efficient external current drive and a large fraction of the bootstrap current are required for non-inductive operation at low circulating power. NBI is a powerful and reliable actuator for current drive and heating. A negative ion-based NBI (N-NBI) with a high beam energy more than 350 keV has been installed in the JT-60U tokamak in order to study the NBI current drive and heating in an ITER relevant regime. This paper presents recent progress of N-NBI experiments and its system in JT-60U towards steady-state operation for ITER and tokamak fusion reactors.

The key factors to realize highly integrated performance plasma performances are control of profiles of current, pressure, rotation and so on. Therefore, several types of heating and current drive systems, ECH, LH, ICH, negative and positive ion based NBI systems, have been introduced into JT-60U. The ECH system with output power 4MW at 110 GHz has been developed using four 1 MW gyrotrons. The gyrotron has achieved 1MW-5sec output of the designed value by suppressing the parasitic oscillation with SiC RF absorber built-in. This gyrotron may get higher output power because it can adjust the anode voltage and extend the range of oscillation parameters. The NBI system has been attained 5.8 MW at 400 kV of beam energy with the negative ion based one and 28 MW with the positive ion based one. In a development work of the negative ion based NBI system, a detailed study on beamlet steering for multi-beam focusing was done, including of the space charge effects among beamlets. Then, 2.6 MW for 10s has been achieved.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)High energy negative-ion-based neutral beam injection (N-NBI) is expected as an efficient and reliable tool of heating and current driving for reactor plasmas such as ITER. A world wide activity on developing technology of negative ion production and beam formation started in 1980's and the great progress has been achieved up to now. In particular, Japan has two large projects that planned adopting N-NBI for real plasma experiments; the JT-60U tokamak and the LHD heliotron, which further motivated the R&D activity. These R&D programs were carried out at JAERI and NIFS separately in Japan, and both were successfully done. The first beam injection experiment was made on the JT-60U in 1996, followed by the LHD in 1998. They were the first experiments on heating plasma by high energy beam in tokamaks and in stellerators, and the obtained results were very promising.

Neutral beam (NB) heating and current drivesystem for ITER fires the energetic particle beams of 1 MeV, 33 MW (16.5 MW/NB injector) into the fusion plasma. The design allows late installation of third NB injector for upgrade in current drive experiment toward steady state operation. The ITER NB system has been designed to fulfill requirements of the plasma physics, including advanced scenario achieved with off-axis current drive by NB. A design overview of the ITER NB system is described. The paper also reports recent R&D status of ion source and accelerator, as key components of the NB system, toward ITER construction. NB heating and current drive performance required in future tokamak reactors are discussed together with the necessary R&D issues.
