Prospects of core–edge integrated no-ELM and small-ELM scenarios for future fusion devices
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023 One of our grand challenges towards fusion energy is the achievement of a high-performance plasma core coupled to a boundary solution. The high confinement mode (H-mode) provides such a high-performance fusion core due to the build-up of an edge ...

Overview of Thermal Hydraulic Optimization and Verification for the EU-DEMO HCPB BOP ICD Variant
Energies, 2021 When progressing from the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) to the Demonstration Fusion Reactor (DEMO), a system for transferring plasma heat exhaust to a power conversion system is necessary for the so-called Balance of Plant (BOP).

SOLPS-ITER modeling of divertor scenarios for EU-DEMO [PDF]
Nuclear Fusion, 2021 We developed a first single null divertor scenario for EU-DEMO with the SOLPS-ITER code, including all charge states of D, He and Ar in the simulation and kinetic analysis of the neutral gas, but still leaving out drifts. Our results suggest that a partially detached divertor condition can indeed be obtained, with a corresponding peak heat flux on ...

Recent progress of plasma exhaust concepts and divertor designs for tokamak DEMO reactors
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2023 The power exhaust concept and an appropriate divertor design are common critical issues for tokamak DEMO design activities which have been carried out in Europe, Japan, China, Korea and the USA.

Optimizing the EU-DEMO pellet fuelling scheme
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020 Efficient fuelling will be an essential task in the EU-DEMO. The basic requirement here is to establish the target plasma core density with a minimum particle flux by injecting mm-size solid fuel pellets. Modelling showed this requires a pellet launch from the vessel inboard.

Ferromagnetic forces acting on the EU-DEMO divertor
Fusion Engineering and Design, 2023 This paper presents an analysis of the mechanical loads produced by the ferromagnetic effects in the divertor of the European DEMO (EU-DEMO) reactor. The exact assessment of this force is an important prerequisite for a reliable structural design, for instance for a correct choice of the fixing supports.
