  • Heating, current drive and energetic particle studies on JET in preparation of ITER operation
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Nuclear Fusion. - : IOP Publishing. - 0029-5515 .- 1741-4326. ; 43:3, s. 202-209

    • This paper summarizes the recent work on JET in the three areas of heating, current drive and energetic particles. The achievements have extended the possibilities of JET, have a direct connection to ITER operation and provide new and interesting physics. Toroidal rotation profiles of plasmas heated far off axis with little or no refuelling or momentum input are hollow with only small differences on whether the power deposition is located on the low field side or on the high field side. With LH current drive the magnetic shear was varied from slightly positive to negative. The improved coupling (through the use of plasma shaping and CD4) allowed up to 3.4 MW of PLH in internal transport barrier (ITB) plasmas with more than 15 MW of combined NBI and ICRF heating. The q-profile with negative magnetic shear and the ITB could be maintained for the duration of the high heating pulse (8 s). Fast ions have been produced in JET with ICRF to simulate alpha particles: by using third harmonic He-4 heating, beam injected He-4 at 120 kV were accelerated to energies above 2 MeV taking advantage of the unique capability of JET to use NBI with 4 He and to confine MeV class ions. ICRF heating was used to replicate the dynamics of alpha heating and the control of an equivalent Q = 10 `burn' was simulated.

  • Control of neoclassical tearing modes by sawtooth control
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 88:10
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The onset of a neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) depends on the existence of a large enough seed island. It is shown in the Joint European Torus that NTMs can be readily destabilized by long-period sawteeth, such as obtained by sawtooth stabilization from ion-cyclotron heating or current drive. This has important implications for burning plasma scenarios, as alpha particles strongly stabilize the sawteeth. It is also shown that, by adding heating and current drive just outside the inversion radius, sawteeth are destabilized, resulting in shorter sawtooth periods and larger beta values being obtained without NTMs.

  • EPR and theoretical studies of positively charged carbon vacancy in 4H-SiC
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - : American Physical Society. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 70:23

    • The carbon vacancy is a dominant defect in 4H-SiC, and the "E15" electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) spectrum originates from positively charged carbon vacancies (VC+) at quasicubic sites. The observed state for EI5, however, has been attributed to a motional-averaged state with the C3v symmetry, and its true atomic structure has not been revealed so far. We here report low temperature (

  • Control of sawteeth and triggering of NTMs with ion cyclotron resonance frequency waves in JET
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Nuclear Fusion. - : IOP Publishing. - 0029-5515 .- 1741-4326. ; 42:11, s. 1324-1334
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A new scenario to delay or prevent neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) onset is presented. By active sawtooth destabilization, short period and low amplitude sawteeth are generated, such that the sawtooth produced NTM seed island is reduced and the threshold normalized plasma pressure for triggering of NTMs, beta(Nonset), is increased. The scenario has been explored experimentally in the Joint European Torus (JET). Ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) waves tuned to the 2nd harmonic H-minority resonance have been used for sawtooth control. Whereas ICRF waves generally induce sawtooth stabilization, favouring the triggering of NTMs and reducing beta(Nonset), the present experiments show that by toroidally directed waves, ion cyclotron current drive is produced, and that sawteeth can be destabilized by careful positioning of the 2nd harmonic H resonance layer with respect to the sawtooth inversion radius. As a result, NTM onset is delayed and beta(Nonset) is increased above its value obtained in discharges with additional heating from neutral beam injection alone.

  • Building Confidence in the Mathematical Models by Calibration With A T-H-M Field Experiment
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Processes in Geo-Systems — Fundamentals, Modelling, Experiments and Applications. - : Elsevier. ; , s. 193-198
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Geological disposal of nuclear fuel wastes relies on the concept of multiple barrier systems. In order to predict the performance of these barriers, mathematical models have been developed, verified and validated against analytical solutions, laboratory tests and field experiments within the international DECOVALEX project. These models in general consider the full coupling of thermal (T), hydrological (H) and mechanical (M) processes that would prevail in the geological media around the repository. This paper shows the process of building confidence in the mathematical models by calibration with a reference T-H-M experiment with realistic rock mass conditions and bentonite properties and measured outputs of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical variables.

  • Influence of administration dose and route on the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of BBG2Na, a recombinant respiratory syncytial virus subunit vaccine candidate
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Vaccine. - 0264-410X .- 1873-2518. ; 18:24, s. 2735-2742
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of BBG2Na, a novel recombinant respiratory syncytial virus subunit vaccine candidate, was assessed in BALB/c mice under various conditions of dose, administration route and number of immunisations. A single intra-peritoneal (i.p.) dose of 2 mu g, or two doses of 0.2 mu g, were sufficient to induce elevated RSV-A serum antibodies and sterilising lung protective immunity. Serum antibody titres were significantly boosted following second immunisations, but not a third. Of three routes of immunisation, i.p. induced the highest RSV-A antibody titres, followed in efficacy by the intramuscular (i.m.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) routes. Nonetheless, all three routes induced comparable and sterilising lung protection. In contrast, upper respiratory tract protection was observed only after i.p. vaccination, although significant viral titre reductions were evident following i.m. or s.c. immunisations. Interestingly, Pepscan analyses indicated that antibody epitope usage was highest in i.p. and lowest in i.m. immunised mice, respectively. Nonetheless, all routes resulted in antibody responses to known lung protective epitopes (protectopes). Thus, the prevention of serious lower respiratory tract disease, the principle goal of a RSV vaccine, but not URT infection, is dose dependent but unlikely to be influenced by the route of BBG2Na administration.

  • Evaluation of Thm Coupling on the Safety Assessment of a Nuclear Fuel Waste Repository in a Homogeneous Hard Rock
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Processes in Geo-Systems — Fundamentals, Modelling, Experiments and Applications. - : Elsevier. ; , s. 211-216
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • An evaluation of the importance of the thermo-hydro-mechanical couplings (THM) on the performance assessment of a deep underground storage design has been made as part of the international DECOVALEX III project. It is a numerical study that simulates a generic repository configuration in the near field in a homogeneous hard rock. A periodic pattern comprises a single vertical borehole, containing a canister surrounded by an over-pack and a bentonite layer, and the backfilled upper portion of the gallery. The thermo-hydro-mechanical evolution of the whole configuration is simulated over a period of 100 years. The importance of the rock mass intrinsic permeability has been investigated through three values : 10 -17, 10 -18 and 10 -19 m 2. Comparison of the results predicted by fully coupled THM analysis as well as partially coupled TH, TM and HM analysis, in terms of several predefined indicators, enables us to identify the couplings, which play a crucial role with respect to safety issues. The results demonstrate that temperature is hardly affected by the couplings. In contrast the influence of the couplings on the mechanical stresses is considerable.

  • Hydro-mechanical response of a fractured granitic rock mass to excavation of a test pit - the Kamaishi Mine experiment in Japan
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Rock Mechanics And Mining Sciences. - 1365-1609 .- 1873-4545. ; 38:1, s. 79-94
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A thermo-hydro-mechanical experiment was conducted in a fractured granitic ruck mass at the Kamaishi Mine in Japan. The experiment consists of the excavation of a cylindrical test pit on the floor of an experimental drift. The test pit was then lilted with bentonite with an embedded heater. During the excavation of the test pit, the hydromechanical response of the surrounding rock was monitored. This paper presents the efforts of four research teams to numerically simulate the hydro-mechanical response of the rock mass during excavation. While the total inflow rate to the test pit, the flow distribution on the pit walls and the displacements in the rock mass away From the pit could be reasonably predicted, the pore pressure in individual boreholes, and the expansion behaviour of the pit were less successfully simulated. The reasons for these discrepancies are discussed in the paper.

  • Implications of Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Processes on the Safety of a Hypothetical Nuclear Fuel Waste Repository
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Processes in Geo-Systems — Fundamentals, Modelling, Experiments and Applications. - : Elsevier. ; , s. 225-230
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In Bench Mark Test no. 1 (BMT1) of the DECOVALEX III international project, we looked at the implications of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes on the safety of a hypothetical nuclear waste repository. The research teams first calibrated their models with the results of an in-situ heater experiments to obtain confidence in the capability of the models to simulate the main physical processes. Then the models were used to perform scoping calculations for the near-field of the hypothetical repository, with varying degrees of THM coupling complexity. The general conclusion from the BMT1 exercise is that it would be prudent to perform full THM coupling analyses for two main reasons. First, several safety features might be overlooked with lesser degrees of coupling. Second, the ability to predict and interpret several physical processes, during the post-closure monitoring period, is important for confidence building and public acceptance. Such ability is attainable only with fully coupled THM models.

  • Evaluation of the Impact of Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical Couplings in Bentonite and Near-Field Rock Barriers of a Nuclear Waste Repository in Sparsely Fractured Hard Rock
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Processes in Geo-Systems — Fundamentals, Modelling, Experiments and Applications. - : Elsevier. ; , s. 217-223
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • As part of the international DECOVALEX III project and the European BENCHPAR project, this paper evaluates the impact of thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) couplings on the performance of a bentonite back-filled nuclear waste repository in sparsely fractured hard rock. The significance of THM coupling on the performance of a hypothetical repository is evaluated by several independent coupled numerical analyses. Moreover, the influence of a discrete fracture intersecting a deposition hole is discussed. The analysis shows that THM couplings have the most impact on the mechanical behaviour of bentonite-rock system, which is important for repository design considerations.
