  • Fuel re-absorption by thermally treated co-deposited carbon layers

    • Systematic studies have been conducted to address the fuel re-absorption by carbon deposits under repeated exposure to plasma after cleaning procedures. The investigation was done with graphite tiles from ALT-II (Advanced Limiter Test II), i.e. the main limiter at the TEXTOR tokamak. Pure graphite plates were used as the reference material. The experimental programme comprised the following: pre-characterization of specimens; D desorption by baking the tile at 1273 K; surface analyses of the fuel-depleted layers; exposure to deuterium in a laboratory plasma device and in TEXTOR; and quantitative assessment of deuterium re-absorption. The main result is that fuel retention in the re-exposed deposits is 30–40 times lower than that in the original co-deposit, showing that fuel re-absorption does not lead to an immediate re-saturation of deposits. Annealing at high temperatures enhances layer brittleness, leading eventually to detachment of co-deposits.

  • Fuel retention and fuel removal from first wall components in tokamaks
  • 2011
  • Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Fuel inventory and generation of carbon and metal dust in a tokamak are perceived to be serious safety and economy issues for a steady-state operation of a fusion reactor, e.g. ITER. These topics have been explored in the on-going Ph.D. work in order to contribute to the better understanding and development of methods for controlling and curtailing fuel accumulation and dust formation in controlled fusion devices. The work was carried out with material facing fusion plasmas in three tokamaks: TEXTOR in Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), Tore Supra in Cadarache (France) and JET in Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (United Kingdom).  This thesis provides an account on studies of fuel removal techniques from plasmafacing components (PFCs) and on consequences of dust formation. Following issues are addressed: (a)  properties of carbon and metal dust formed in the TEXTOR tokamak;  (b)  dust generation associated with removal of fuel and co-deposited layers from carbon PFCs from TEXTOR and Tore Supra;  (c)  surface morphology of wall components after different cleaning treatments;  (d)  surface properties of diagnostic mirrors tested at JET for ITER. The study dealt with carbon, tungsten and beryllium, i.e. with the three major elements being used for PFC in present-day devices and foreseen for a next-step machine.  Some essential results are summarised by the following.  (i)  The amount of loose dust found on the floor of the TEXTOR liner does not exceed 2 grams with particle size range 0.1 mm – 1 mm. The presence of fine (up to 1 mm) crystalline graphite in the collected matter suggests that brittle destruction of carbon PFC could take place during off-normal events. Carbon is the main component, but there are also magnetic and non-magnetic metal agglomerates. The results obtained strongly indicate that in a carbon wall machine the disintegration of flaking co-deposits on PFC is the main source of dust:  (ii)  The fuel content in dust and co-deposits varies from 10% on the main limiters to 0.03% on the neutralizer plates as determined by thermal desorption and ionbeam methods:  (iii)  Fuel removal by annealing in vacuum or by oxidative methods disintegrates codeposits. In the case of thick layers, the treatment makes them brittle thus reducing the adherence to the target and, as a consequence, this leads to the formation of dust:  (iv)   Application of thermal methods for fuel removal from carbon-rich layers is effective only at high temperatures (above 800 K), i.e. in the range exceeding the allowed baking temperature of the ITER divertor:  (v)   Photonic cleaning by laser pulses effectively removes fuel-rich deposited layers, but it also produces debris, especially under ablation conditions:  (vi)  Photonic cleaning of mirrors exposed in JET results in partial recovery of reflectivity, but surfaces are modified by laser pulses. The presentation of results is accompanied by a discussion of their consequences for the future development and the application of fuel and dust removal methods in a next-step fusion device.

    • The efficiency of two methods for in-situ fuel removal has been tested on carbon and tungsten limiters retrieved from the TEXTOR and Tore Supra tokamaks: laser-inducedablation of co-deposits and annealing in vacuum at elevated temperature. The analyses of gas phase and surfaces performed with thermal desorption spectrometry, optical spectroscopy, ion beam analysis, surface profilometry and microscopy methods have shown: (i) the ablation leads to the generation of dust particles of 50 nm – 2μm; (ii) volatile products of ablation undergo condensation on surrounding surfaces; (iii) D/C ratio in such condensate is in the range 0.02-0.03; (iv) long-term annealing of 623 K for 70 hours results in release of not more ~10 % of deuterium accumulated in plasma-facing components; (v) effective removal is reached by heating to 900-1300 K.

  • Overview of the second stage in the comprehensive mirrors test in JET
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Physica Scripta. - : Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP). - 0031-8949 .- 1402-4896. ; T145, s. 014070-

    • The first mirror test for ITER in JET with carbon walls has been completed. Thirty polycrystalline Mo mirrors including four coated with a 1 μm rhodium (Rh) film were exposed to plasma in the divertor region and in the main chamber. The mirrors were installed in eight cassettes of pan-pipe shape. The reflectivity of all mirrors exposed in the divertor has been degraded by 80–90% because of the formation of thick (>20 μm) flaking co-deposits on surfaces. Only small reflectivity losses (5–10%) occurred on mirrors located at the channel mouth of the cassettes from the main chamber wall. This is due to the in situremoval of deposited species by charge exchange neutrals. Deuterium, 12C and 9Be are the main isotopes detected on surfaces, but other isotopes (13C) are also found in some locations, thus indicating differences in the material migration. Rhodium coatings with an initial reflectivity that is 30% better than that of pure Mo survived the test without detachment, but their resultant reflectivity was the same as that of the exposed Mo surfaces.

    • A set of stainless steel (SS) and molybdenum mirror samples located in the divertor and at the outer mid-plane of the vessel were exposed in JET from 2005 to 2007. A selection of these mirror samples with well adhered deposits (i.e. not flaking) of up to a few hundred nanometers in thickness and with Be/C ratios ranging from 0 to similar to 1 have been cleaned using a laser system developed at CEA, Saclay. Following laser cleaning the recovered reflectivity was generally better in the infrared than the visible spectrum, with recovery of up to 90% of the initial reflectivity being obtained at 1600 nm for both Mo and SS mirrors falling as low as 20-30% of initial reflectivity at a wavelength of 400 nm for some SS mirrors, rising to similar to 80% for Mo mirrors. Some deposit remained on the mirrors after the cleaning trials.
