The fusion plasma is far too hot to be brought into direct contact with a physical wall. It would degrade the wall and the debris would extinguish the plasma. Schemes are developed to cool down the...
A bulk tungsten divertor row for the outer strike point in JET (2009)
Mertens, Ph., Altmann, H., Hirai, T., Knaup, M., Neubauer, O., Philipps, V., ...
In the frame of the ITER-like wall project, a new row of divertor tiles has been developed which consists of 96 bulk tungsten load-bearing septum replacement plates (LB-SRP). Exposed to the outer...
Development and qualification of a bulk tungsten divertor row for JET (2009)
Mertens, Ph., Altmann, H., Hirai, T., Philipps, V., Pintsuk, G., Rapp, J., ...
A bulk tungsten divertor row has been developed in the frame of the ITER-like Wall project at JET. It consists of 96 tiles grouped in 48 modules around the torus. The outer strike point is located on...
Strain rate and test temperature dependence on the flow properties of La2O3-doped tungsten (2008)
Uytdenhouwen, Inge, Chaouadi, Rachid, Linke, Jochen, Massaut, Vincent, Van Oost, Guido
Tungsten and tungsten alloys are promising metals as protective materials for the armour in future fusion reactors. These metals exhibit the highest melting point, superior thermo-mechanical...
Schmidt, A., Uytdenhouwen, Inge, Kuhnlein, W., Roedig, M., Linke, J., Hirai, T., ...
In the present study, the effect of disruptions on beryllium has been studied. Disruptions are simulated in the electron beam facility JUDITH by high energetic pulses of up to 250 MJ/m2. Under these...
Uytdenhouwen, Inge, Schuurmans, Johan, Decréton, Marc, Massaut, Vincent, Van Oost, Guido
In JET and ITER, the first wall will be covered by Be and a full or partial W divertor will be common. In DEMO, only high-Z, low erosion material such as W will be present as a plasma facing...
Development and testing of a bulk tungsten tile for the JET divertor (2007)
Hirai, T., Bondarchuk, E., Borovkov, A.I., Koppitz, Th., Linke, J., Mertens, Ph., ...
The ITER-like wall project has been launched to design, manufacture and test all the necessary components in view of their installation in a dedicated shutdown 2008–09. One of the R&D activities in...
Influence of recrystallization on thermal shock resistance of various tungsten grades (2007)
Uytdenhouwen, Inge, Decréton, Marc, Hirai, Takeshi, Linke, Jochen, Pintsuk, Gerald, Van Oost, Guido
Thermal shock resistance of various tungsten grades (different manufacturing technologies and heat treatments) was examined under plasma disruption conditions, especially in the cracking regime, i.e....
R&D on full tungsten divertor and beryllium wall for JET ITER-like wall project (2007)
Hirai, T., Maier, H., Rubel, M., Mertens, Ph., Neu, R., Gauthier, E., ...
The ITER reference materials have been tested separately in tokamaks, plasma simulators, ion beams and high heat flux test beds. In order to perform a fully integrated material test JET has launched...
Tungsten and beryllium armour development for the JET ITER-like wall project (2007)
Maier, H., Hirai, T., Rubel, M., Mertens, Ph., Greuner, H., Hopf, Ch., ...
For the ITER-like wall project at JET, the present main chamber CFC tiles will be exchanged with Be tiles and in parallel a fully tungsten-clad divertor will be prepared. Three R&D programmes were...
