Power exhaust scenarios for EU-DEMO

Nuclear Fusion
We present an analysis of possible power exhaust scenarios for EU-DEMO. We employ the SOLPS-ITER code with the newly developed advanced fluid neutral model to scan a relatively wide range of neutral pressure divertor and impurity concentration in the ...

ECCD studies for EU-DEMO plasmas [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
The possibility of driving a large fraction of the plasma current in a tokamak reactor employing electron cyclotron waves is investigated for scenarios as envisaged in the European DEMO through beam tracing calculations performed with the TORBEAM code ...

Design progress of EU DEMO divertor cassette

Nuclear Materials and Energy
In the context of EUROfusion activities for the development of the DEMO reactor design, the divertor configuration is a major challenge. The current conceptual divertor design is based on the use of EUROFER97 for the divertor cassette body, while ...

On the shielding of the tokamak coolant systems in the EU-DEMO

Nuclear Fusion
The conceptual development of the EUropean DEMOnstration fusion reactor (EU-DEMO) envisages a series of modifications aimed at improving the design of the reactor and its plant systems and triggering iterative calculation procedures for an organic ...

Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio

Fusion Engineering and Design
The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1)

Conceptual design of a modular EC heating system for EU-DEMO

Nuclear Fusion
The European DEMO (EU-DEMO) reactor studies within EUROfusion aim to develop a fusion power plant concept. The large tokamak device needs an auxiliary heating power which, at the present stage, is provided by the Electron Cyclotron (EC) heating system ...

An integral approach to plasma-wall interaction modelling for EU-DEMO

Nuclear Fusion
An integral approach to plasma-wall interaction (PWI) modelling for DEMO is presented, which is part of the EUROfusion Theory and Advanced Simulation Coordination activities that were established to advance the understanding and predictive capabilities ...

Definition of an EU-DEMO design point robust to epistemic plasma physics uncertainties

Nuclear Fusion
A novel approach for explicitly and robustly accounting for epistemic uncertainties in plasma confinement in the 0D design of tokamaks is presented, in which the plasma safety factor at the 95th percentile flux surface, q _95 , is used to apply a design ...
