Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:16.87(Nuclear Science & Technology)JFT-2M has been modified three times in the Advanced Material Tokamak Experiment (AMTEX) program to investigate compatibility of the low activation ferritic steel F82H with tokamak plasmas as a structural material for future reactors. The ferritic steel plate/wall was installed inside and/or outside of the vacuum vessel to reduce the ripple of toroidal magnetic field step by step through three modifications. This paper focuses on engineering aspects in these modifications; electromagnetic analysis to find a suitable way for fixing these plates, installation procedure to keep small tolerance, a three-dimensional magnetic field measurement device used to obtain information of the actual shape of the vacuum vessel used as a installation standard surface. To keep a good surface condition of the ferritic steel plate/wall that rusts easily, careful treatment was executed before the installation. To reduce oxygen impurities further, a boronization system with tri-methyl boron, which is safe and easy to operate, was developed.

Ferritic steel plates were installed in the JFT-2M vacuum vessel to conduct "the Advanced Material Tokamak Experiments (AMTEX)". A coating device with tri-methyl-bron(TMB)was developed to coat the ferritic steel surface with boron, since the ferritic steel is easy to rust and also has a property to absorb much impurity in the surface. The TMB gas used in the device was diluted with helium gas to 1% for ensuring workers themselves against the toxicity of the TMB. The uniformity and stability of the coated layer have been confirmed through sample tests with a microscope, whose samples had been set in the tokamak vacuum vessel. The coating thickness measured with X-ray photoelectron emission spectroscopy was roughly 130nm. In the plasma experiments after the boron coating, radiation loss in the plasma decreased to 1/3, and oxygen impurity also decreased to 1/10 compared to without the boron coating.
