Dust can be an important contributor to impurity contamination of the core and scrape-off-layer (SOL) plasmas in tokamak fusion devices. This is the first report about investigation of transport of carbon dust particles in case of JT-60U tokamak using the dust transport code (DUSTT). The DUSTT code takes into account various plasma-dust interaction processes. In the present report, background plasma parameters in JT-60U such as densities and temperatures of electron, ion and neutral atom were computed with the UEDGE code. Three dimensional trajectories, temperature evolution, and radius variation of dust particles launched from different positions at the inner divertor, the outer divertor and the dome structure in JT-60U tokamak were simulated numerically to study dynamics and transport of dust particles there. As a result, the lifetime of dust particles is dependent mainly on the ion density in trajectories in final term.

Statistical analysis of fluctuation characteristics at high- and low-field sides in L-mode SOL plasmas of JT-60U

Comparison between fluctuation characteristics at high-field-side (HFS) and low-field-side (LFS) scrape off layers (SOLs) has been made, for the first time, in the L mode plasma of the JT-60U tokamak using reciprocating Langumuir probes. Statistical analysis based on probability distribution function (PDF) was employed to describe intermittent (non-diffusion) transport in SOL plasma fluctuations. The positive bursty events appeared most frequently at LFS midplane associated with blobby plasma transport, then the PDF is strongly skewed positively, while the PDF in HFS SOL is close to Gaussian distribution. Conditional averaging analysis of the positive bursty events at LFS midplane indicates the intermittent feature with a rapid increase and a slow decay is similar to that of plasma blobs theoretically predicted. Statistical self-similarity was also investigated with Fourier power spectrum and statistics of waiting-time and duration-time of the fluctuation.

ELM propagation and fluctuations characteristics in H- and L-mode SOL plasmas on JT-60U

Asakura, Nobuyuki; Ono, Noriyasu*; Kawashima, Hisato; Miyoshi, Hideaki*; Matsunaga, Go; Oyama, Naoyuki; Takamura, Shuichi*; Uesugi, Yoshihiko*; Takechi, Manabu; Nakano, Tomohide; et al.

Radial transport of the SOL plasma was recently studied in order to understand heat and particle loading to the first wall and the SOL formation mechanism. Fast propagation of the ELM plasma and fluctuation properties in H- and L-modes were determined at low-field-side (LFS) SOL using reciprocating Mach probes in JT-60U. Large and short peaks were found in ELM plasma flux, which was regularly enhanced after each ELM event. Transport dynamics of the first large ${it j$_{s}$}$ peak was determined, i.e. it propagated to near the first wall with the fast velocity of 1.3-2.5 km/s. Statistical analysis of a probability distribution function was applied to describe intermittent (non-diffusion) transport in SOL plasma fluctuations. It was found that the positive bursty events appeared in a wide SOL region, where the flow reversal of the SOL plasma was observed. Influences of the radial transport of the convective blobby plasma on the SOL formation and the flow reversal were investigated.

The National Centralized Tokamak (NCT) facility program is a domestic research program for advanced tokamak research to succeed JT-60U incorporating Japanese university accomplishments. The mission of NCT is to establish high beta steady-state operation for DEMO and to contribute to ITER. The machine flexibility and mobility is pursued in aspect ratio and shape controllability, feedback control of resistive wall modes, wide current and pressure profile control capability for the demonstration of the high-b steady state.

The diagnostic system of JFT-2M has consisted of about 30 individual diagnostic instruments,which were used to study the plasma production, control, equilibrium, stability, confinement, plasma heating by NBI and/or RF (LH, ICRF, ECH) and current drive by RF. In these instruments, the motional Stark effect (MSE) polarimeter, charge exchanged recombination spectroscopy (CXRS), heavy-ion beam probe (HIBP), time of flight (TOF) neutral particle analyzer, etc. have contributed to make clear the improved mechanism of confinement such as H-mode and High Recycling Steady (HRS) H-mode, and to search the operational region of these modes.The infrared TV camera system and lost ion probe have played a very important role to investigate the heat load onto the walls due to ripple loss particles and escaping ions from core plasma, respectively.

Design studies are shown on the National Centralized Tokamak facility. The machine design is carried out to investigate the capability for the flexibility in aspect ratio and shape controllability for the demonstration of the high-beta steady state operation with nation-wide collaboration, in parallel with ITER towards DEMO. Two designs are proposed and assessed with respect to the physics requirements such as confinement, stability, current drive, divertor, and energetic particle confinement. The operation range in the aspect ratio and the plasma shape is widely enhanced in consistent with the sufficient divertor pumping. Evaluations of the plasma performance towards the determination of machine design are presented.
