Exploration of spherical torus physics in the NSTX device [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2000
The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is being built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to test the fusion physics principles for the Spherical Torus (ST) concept at the MA level. The NSTX nominal plasma parameters are R {sub 0} = 85 cm, a = 67 cm, R/a greater than or equal to 1.26, B {sub T} = 3 kG, I {sub p} = 1 MA, q {sub 95} = 14 ...

Plasma Response to the Application of 30 MHz RF Power in the NSTX Device [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2001
Radio-frequency power at 30 MHz has been applied in a variety of situations to National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) plasmas. The response of the plasma is observed in order to study both the physics of High Harmonic Fast Wave (HHFW) heating and as a tool to extend the performance of NSTX plasmas. In this paper we will discuss the progress made to

Flowing liquid lithium plasma-facing components – Physics, technology and system analysis of the LiMIT system

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2017
The use of low atomic number liquid metals has been shown to have the potential to solve many of the prevalent problems like erosion and radiation losses associated with the interaction of fusion plasma with the plasma facing component (PFC) structures ...

Self-consistent calculation of the effects of RF injection in the HHFW heating regimes on the evolution of fast ions in toroidal plasmas

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
A critical question for the use of ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating in the ITER device and beyond is interaction of fast waves with energetic ion populations from neutral beam injection (NBI), fusion reactions, and minority ions ...

Safety Analysis in Large Volume Vacuum Systems Like Tokamak: Experiments and Numerical Simulation to Analyze Vacuum Ruptures Consequences

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The large volume vacuum systems are used in many industrial operations and research laboratories. Accidents in these systems should have a relevant economical and safety impact. A loss of vacuum accident (LOVA) due to a failure of the main vacuum vessel can result in a fast pressurization of the vessel and consequent mobilization dispersion of ...

DECAF cross-device characterization of tokamak disruptions indicated by abnormalities in plasma vertical position and current

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Abnormal (deviating from the target) variations in the plasma vertical position Z and current $I_\textrm{p}$ (such as vertical displacements, transient $I_\textrm{p}$ ‘spikes’ and quenches) constitute common elements of a disruption, a phenomenon that is
