First mirror test in JET for ITER: Complete overview after three ILW campaigns
The First Mirror Test for ITER has been carried out in JET with mirrors exposed during (1) the third IIW campaign (11.W-3, 2015-2016, 23.33 h plasma) and (ii) all three campaigns, Le LW1 to ILW-3: 20112016 63,52 h in total. All mirrors from main chamber wall show no significant changes of the total reflectivity from the initial value and the diffuse reflectivity does not exceed 3% in the spectral range above 500 nm. The modified Layer on surface has very small amount of impurities such as D, B, C N O and Ni. All mirrors from the divertor (inner, outer, base under the bulk ile) lost reflectivity by 20-80% due to the beryllium-rich deposition also containing D, CN, O, Ni and W. In the inner divertor N reaches 5 x 107 cm2 W is up to 4.3 x 10 cm while the content of Ni is the greatest in the outer divertor 3.8 x 10 cm Oxygen-18 used as the tracer in experiments at the end of ILW-3 has been detected at the level of 1.1 x 10 cm . The thickness of deposited Layer is in the range or 90 nm to 900 nm. The layer growth rate in the base (2.7 pms !) and inner divertor is proportional to the exposure time when a single campaign and all three are compared. In a few cases, on mirrots located at the cassette mouth, flaking of deposits and crosion occurred.EURATOM 63305

Contrasting H-mode behaviour with fuelling and nitrogen seeding in the all-carbon and metallic versions of JET
An all-metal ITER-Like Wall (JET-ILW), consisting of beryllium in the main chamber and tungsten surfaces in the divertor, has now been installed in JET to pursue low retention of fuel species and to explore the impact on next-step-relevant plasmas. Its implementation has offered a unique opportunity to compare behaviour with that in the previous all-Carbon lining (JET-C), notably for high-triangularity Type I H-modes with impurity seeding. This technique is recognised to be necessary for power handling both in ITER and in JET at full performance. Contrasting results are reported for closely-matched deuterium-fuelling plus nitrogen-seeding scans in each JET environment. Attention is focused upon neutral-beam-heated plasmas with total input power 1517MW at 2.65T, 2.5MA, q95 3.5 , average triangularity d 0.4 , elongation k 1.7 and gas inputs spanning ranges 0.75 FD 3.3 , 0 FD 4.7 (1022 electrons / s assuming full ionisation). JET-C cases also included 12MW of central ion-cyclotron-resonance-frequency heating, so far absent from JET-ILW pulses, with possible consequences for respective core sawtooth and impurity-concentration results.Preprint of Paper to be submitted for publication in Proceedings of the 40th EPS Conference on Plasma Physics, Espoo, Finland 1st July 2013 - 5th July 201
Gas Analyses of First complete JET Cryopump Regeneration with ITER-Like Wall
Analytical results of a complete JET cryopump regeneration, including the
nitrogen panel, following the first ITER-Like Wall campaign are presented along
with the in-situ analyses of residual gas. H/D mixtures and impurities such as
nitrogen and neon were injected during plasma operation in the vessel to study
radiation cooling in the scrape-off-layer and divertor region. The global gas
inventory over the campaign is incomplete, suggesting residual volatile
impurities are remaining on the cryogenic panel. This paper presents results on
a) residual deuterium on the panel which is related to the campaign very low,
b) impurities like nitrogen which sticks on the panel and c) the ammonia
production which can be observed in the RGA spectrum.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. This is an author-created, un-copyedited version
