Opis:
Researches on the plasma jet source and injection of hydrogen plasma and neutral gas jets into the Globus-M spherical tokamak are presented. A novel source of dense plasma with high directed velocity is designed, constructed and investigated. This is a double stage system consisting of an intense source utilizing titanium-hydride grains for neutral gas production and a conventional pulsed coaxial accelerator. Optimization of the accelerator parameters, so as to achieve a maximum possible flow velocity with a limited discharge current and a reasonable length of the coaxial electrodes is performed. The calculations are compared with the experiment. A test bed is used for investigation of the intense plasma jet generated by a plasma gun. Plasma jet parameters, among them pressure distribution across the jet, flow velocity, plasma density etc., were measured. Plasma jets with densities of up to 1022 m 3, total numbers of accelerated particles (1 5) . 1019, and flow velocities of 50 100 km/s were successfully injected into the plasma column of the Globus-M tokamak. Interferometric and Thomson scattering measurements confirmed a deep jet penetration and a fast density rise (<0.5 ms) at all spatial points up to the radius r H 0.3a. The injection did not result in plasma degradation.

Opis:
Progress in the development of a plasma jet source and its utilization for injection of hydrogen plasma and neutral gas jets into the Globus-M spherical tokamak are presented. The latest version of the high kinetic energy gas and plasma jet source with titanium hydride grains is described. Reproducibility of the gas jet generation was increased due to automatic loading of fresh grains into the source before every shot. It allows producing stable gas release for many discharges. Impurity radiation intensity from the plasma jet was decreased by more than 100 times by preliminary processing titanium hydrate grains and developing a new filter. The result of special experiments on two colliding jets is discussed. It was confirmed that the plasma jet recombines into a gas jet after it escapes the source edge and has a kinetic energy higher than the hydrogen ionization potential. Hydrogen plasma jet with low impurity content has a density up to 2 × 1022 m-3, a total number of accelerated particles (1-5) × 1019 and a flow velocity of ~ 200 km/s. It was used as an instrument for density control in Globus-M. Jet injection into deuterium plasma core during current plateau phase led to fast density increase in all spatial points of the plasma column including the plasma central region. Such injection allowed density doubling in the tokamak plasma. The model predictions are consistent with the experimental observations of the density raise recorded by the interferometer and Thomson scattering.

Opis:
The first part of this invited paper is devoted to mechanisms of the production of fast electrons in plasma experiments involving magnetic traps of the tokamak type. The phenomenon of generation of the so-called runaway electrons - which may reach energies up to several dozen MeV - is considered and basic characteristics of such electrons are described. In particular, the orbits of the runaway electrons and their energy limits are presented. Problems related to the cross-field transport in tokamak plasmas and interactions of the relativistic electrons with plasma oscillations are also considered. Production of the so-called ripple-born electrons, which may be observed in the energy range from approximately 50 keV to several hundreds keV, is analyzed separately. In the second part of this paper various diagnostic methods used for investigation of the runaway and ripple-born electrons are presented. Various techniques are described, which are based on different reactions induced by the runaway electrons, e.g., the emission of X-rays or neutrons, or the synchrotron radiation. Finally, a modern technique of electron measurements is described, which was developed by the author's team at the Andrzej Sołtan Institute for Nuclear Studies (IPJ) in Świerk (Poland), and which is based on the use of Cherenkov-type detectors. Examples of applications of the discussed techniques in different tokamak experiments are described. Particular attention is paid to the Cherenkov detectors, which have already been used in experiments at the small-size CASTOR device in Prague (Czech Republic), the ISTTOK machine in Lisbon (Portugal), as well as in the larger TORE-SUPRA facility in Cadarache (France).

Opis:
Two ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating scenarios, proposed for the non-activated half-B0 phase of ITER in hydrogen plasmas, were investigated on the JET tokamak. This paper we present a detailed study of the impurity content in plasma when the fundamental H and the 2nd harmonic 3He ICRF heating scenarios are realized. The ICRF conditions for those heating scenarios on ITER - i.e. the frequency of 42 MHz for the fundamental H and 53 MHz for the 2nd harmonic 3He heating, and the magnetic field B0 = 2.65 T – were closely reproduced in dedicated experiments on JET. The impurity content of the plasma was determined by means of the spectroscopy in the VUV range. The release of C and Ni impurities during the ICRF heating is presented as a function of the total ICRF heating power supplied in those heating scenarios. The contribution of the Ni impurity to the effective charge of the plasma, Zeff, and the plasma dilution are estimated. We find that for the 3He ICRF heating scenario the impurity content and the plasma energy loss through radiation was higher than for the fundamental hydrogen heating scenario.

In this work, results from the first experimental COMPASS campaign dedicated to runaway electrons are presented and discussed in preliminary way. In particular, the first observation of synchrotron radiation and rather interesting raw magnetic data are shown.

This paper concerns important and difficult problems connected with a design and construction of thermonuclear reactors, which have to use nuclear fusion reactions of heavy isotopes of hydrogen, i.e., deuterium (D) and tritium (T). There are described conditions in which such reactions can occur, and different methods of a high-temperature plasma generation, i.e., high-current electrical discharges, intense microwave pulses, and injection of energetic neutral atoms (NBI). There are also presented experimental facilities which can contain hot plasma for an appropriate period, and particularly so-called tokamaks. The second part presents the technical problems which must be solved in order to build a thermonuclear reactor, that might be used for energetic purposes. There are considered problems connected with a choice of constructional materials for a vacuum chamber, its internal parts, external windings generating a magnetic fi eld, and necessary shields. The next part considers the handling of radioactive tritium; the using of alpha particles (4He) for additional heating of plasma; recuperation of hydrogen isotopes absorbed in the tokamak internal parts, and a removal of a helium excess. There is presented a scheme of a future thermonuclear power plant and critical comments on a road map which should enable the construction of an industrial thermonuclear reactor (DEMO).

Opis:
This invited paper considers reasons why exact measurements of fast electron and ion losses in tokamaks, and particularly i n a scrape-off-layer and near a divertor region, are necessary in order to master nuclear fusion energy production. Attention is also paid to direct measurements of escaping fusion products from D-D and D-T reactions, and in particular of fast alphas which might be used for plasma heating. The second part describes the generation of so-called runaway and ripple-born electrons which might induce high energy losses and cause severe damages of internal walls in fusion facilities. Advantages and disadvantages of different diagnostic methods applied for studies of such fast electrons are discussed. Particular attention is paid to development of a direct measuring technique based on the Cherenkov effect which might be induced by fast electrons in appropriate radiators. There are presented various versions of Cherenkov-type probes which have been developed by the NCBJ team and applied in different tokamak experiments. The third part is devoted to direct measurements of fast ions (including those produced by the nuclear fusion reactions) which can escape from a high-temperature plasma region. Investigation of fast fusion-produced protons from tokamak discharges is reported. New ion probes, which were developed by the NCBJ team, are also presented. For the fi rst time there is given a detailed description of an ion pinhole camera, which enables irradiation of several nuclear track detectors during a single tokamak discharge, and a miniature Thomson-type mass-spectrometer, which can be used for ion measurements at plasma borders.

Opis:
The COMPASS tokamak is equipped with two identical neutral beam injectors (NBI) for additional plasma heating. They provide a beam of deuterium atoms with a power of up to ~(2 × 300) kW. We show that the neutral beam is not monoenergetic but contains several energy components. An accurate knowledge of the neutral beam power in each individual energy component is essential for a detailed description of the beam- -plasma interaction and better understanding of the NBI heating processes in the COMPASS tokamak. This paper describes the determination of individual energy components in the neutral beam from intensities of the Doppler-shifted Dα lines, which are measured by a high-resolution spectrometer viewing the neutral beam-line at the exit of NBI. Furthermore, the divergence of beamlets escaping single aperture of the last accelerating grid is deduced from the width of the Doppler-shifted lines. Recently, one of the NBI systems was modifi ed by the removal of the Faraday copper shield from the ion source. The comparison of the beam composition and the beamlet divergence before and after this modifi cation is also presented.

Opis:
In the future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the interaction between the plasma and the tungsten chosen as the plasma-facing wall material imposes that the hot central plasma loses energy by X-ray emission from tungsten ions. On the other hand, the registered X-ray spectra provide alternative diagnostics of the plasma itself. Highly ionized tungsten emits extremely complex X-ray spectra that can be understood only after exhaustive theoretical studies. The detailed analyses will be useful for proper interpretation of soft X-ray plasma radiation expected to be registered on ITER-like machines, that is, Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak (WEST). The simulations of the soft X-ray spectra structures for tungsten ions have been performed using the flexible atomic code (FAC) package within the framework of collisional-radiative (CR) model approach for electron temperatures and densities relevant to WEST tokamak.

An overview of the energy problem in the world is presented. The colossal task of ‘decarbonizing’ the current energy system, with ~85% of the primary energy produced from fossil sources is discussed. There are at the moment only two options that can contribute to a solution: renewable energy (sun, wind, hydro, etc.) or nuclear fission. Their contributions, ~2% for sun and wind, ~6% for hydro and ~5% for fission, will need to be enormously increased in a relatively short time, to meet the targets set by policy makers. The possible role and large potential for fusion to contribute to a solution in the future as a safe, nearly inexhaustible and environmentally compatible energy source is discussed. The principles of magnetic and inertial confinement are outlined, and the two main options for magnetic confi nement, tokamak and stellarator, are explained. The status of magnetic fusion is summarized and the next steps in fusion research, ITER and DEMO, briefly presented.

The COMPASS tokamak is equipped with the soft X-ray (SXR) diagnostic system based on silicon photodiode arrays shielded by a thin beryllium foil. The diagnostic is composed of two pinhole cameras having 35 channels each and one vertical pinhole camera with 20 channels, which was installed recently to improve tomographic inversions. Lines of sight of the SXR detectors cover almost complete poloidal cross section of the COMPASS vessel with a spatial resolution of 1–2 cm and temporal resolution of about 3 s. Local emissivity is reconstructed via Tikhonov regularization constrained by minimum Fisher information that provides reliable and robust solution despite limited number of projections and ill-conditionality of this task. Improved border conditions and numerical differentiation matrices suppressing artifacts in reconstructed radiation were implemented in the code. Furthermore, a fast algorithm eliminating iterative processes was developed, and it is foreseen to be tested in real-time plasma control.

Opis:
Metoda aktywacyjna stosowana do charakteryzacji różnych źródeł neutronów, należy do jednej z najstarszych metod stosowanych w neutronice. Pomimo tego jest wciąż ważna, gdyż prowadzi do otrzymywania wartości bezwzględnych wydajności neutronów, a czasami pozwala na dekonwolucje ich rozkładu energetycznego. Druga Deuterowo- Trytowa Kampania Eksperymentalna na Wspólnym Europejskim Tokamaku JET jest wielkim wyzwaniem. Po jej zakończeniu nastąpi zamknięcie i odstawienie JETa, a tym samym zakończenie jakże ważnego rozdziału w historii fizyki plazmy. Przed kampanią deuterowo-trytową nastąpi kalibracja diagnostyk neutronowych tokamaka i to z niepewnością niższą niż 5%. Technika aktywacyjna posłuży do charakteryzacji generatora neutronów, który będzie zastosowany, jako ustandaryzowane źródło neutronów 14 MeV, a następnie będzie zastosowana w czasie ostatniej kampanii eksperymentalnej do monitorowania wydajności neutronów.
The activation technique used for characterization of many different neutron sources belongs to the oldest one applied in neutronics area. It is still important because it leads to obtainment of obsolete value of neutron yield and from time to time allows neutron spectrum deconvolution. The Second Deuterium-Tritium Experimental Campaign that is held on Joint European Torus is a great challenge. After completing the above campaign the shut down and decommissioning of the JET is expected. Thus, the important chapter in history of plasma physics will be definitely closed. But before the deuterium-tritium campaign starts, the calibration of neutron diagnostic should be completed with uncertainty better than 5%. The activation technique is used for neutron diagnostics characterization that is chosen as the source of 14 MeV neutrons. Afterwards, the activation technique will be applied as neutron yield monitor during last experimental campaign on JET tokamak.

Opis:
This paper concerns a technology of nuclear fusion reactors with magnetic containment of plasma in a tokamak and about using it in production of electricity. The reaction of the thermonuclear fusion is occurring in very high temperatures of the order of hundreds of millions degrees Kelvin. Such reactions are occurring in stars and produce the considerable quantities of energy. The closest natural fusion reactor is the sun in our Solar System. A power station based on a fusion reactor seems to be within reach of current technologies, however requires considerable efforts and the cooperation of many nations. Elements from which the thermonuclear power station will be built will have to be of high quality and of the precise execution. Thermonuclear reactor will consist of many parts which must be made appropriately and have a significant resistance to thermal fluxes and the neutron radiation. The analysis presented in this work regards production of electricity with applying the thermonuclear fusion. Most important system and elements that make up the tokamak type thermonuclear reactor are characterized. A few blends of fuel are considered for "burning" in the reactor, and most probable for the application is a blend of deuterium and tritium. A subject of the production of the tritium in cooling jackets with liquid lithium is brought up. Power station under consideration has a turbine cycle with steam as the working fluid. High-temperature plasma is the source of heat driving the power plant and the heat is being collected from the blanket of the reactor which surrounds plasma. Calculations were performed for the conceptual power station in three technological variants (different parameters of fresh and reheated steam). Matter of using the product after the thermonuclear reaction is raised. A review of a state-of-the-art technologies allows to conclude that the ITER is an important first step in thermonuclear fusion. Technology is available, clean, environment friendly and it would be very effective. Building fusion power plants requires outstanding technical capabilities, commitment and vision.
W pracy zebrano informacje na temat technologii reaktorów fuzyjnych z magnetycznym utrzymaniem plazmy (typu tokamak) oraz o ich wykorzystaniu w produkcji energii elektrycznej. Reakcja fuzji jądrowej zachodzi w bardzo wysokich temperaturach rzędu setek milionów kelwinów, stąd też częste określenie fuzja termojądrowa. Reakcje takie zachodzą w gwiazdach i produkują znaczne ilości energii, najbliższy naturalny reaktor fuzyjny to Słońce znajdujące się w naszym układzie słonecznym. Elektrownia bazująca na reaktorze fuzyjnym jest w zasięgu aktualnych technologii, jednakże wymaga sporych starań oraz współpracy wielu narodów. Elementy, z których zostanie zbudowana elektrownia termojądrowa będą musiały być bardzo wysokiej jakości oraz bardzo precyzyjnie wykonane. Sam reaktor fuzji termojądrowej będzie składał się z wielu części, które muszą być odpowiednio wykonane oraz posiadać znaczną odporność na obciążenia cieplne czy promieniowanie neutronowe. Niniejsza praca dotyczy produkcji energii elektrycznej z zastosowaniem fuzji termojądrowej. Przedstawiono opis ważniejszych części wspomnianej elektrowni. Rozpatrywanych było kilka mieszanek paliwa do „spalenia” w reaktorze, przy czym najbardziej prawdopodobnym do zastosowania paliwem będzie mieszanka deuteru i trytu. Poruszony został również temat produkcji trytu w płaszczach chłodzonych płynnym litem. Rozważana elektrownia termojadrowa posiada obieg turbinowy z parą wodną jako czynnikiem roboczym. Źródłem ciepła jest wysokotemperaturowa plazma, a ciepło odbierane jest z płaszcza reaktora otaczającego tą plazmę. Wykonane zostały obliczenia dla koncepcyjnej elektrowni w trzech wariantach technologicznych (różne parametry pary świeżej i wtórnie przegrzanej) oraz poruszono sprawę wykorzystania produktu po reakcji termojądrowej. Przeprowadzona analiza studialno-obliczeniowa pozwala wnioskować miedzy innymi, że projekt ITER jest istotnym pierwszym krokiem na drodze ku fuzji termojądrowej. Technologia termojądrowa wydaje się być osiągalna, czysta i przyjazna dla środowiska, a co więcej bardzo efektywna. Budowa elektrowni opartej na fuzji jądrowej wymaga jednak wybitnych zdolności technicznych, obowiązkowości oraz nieco wizjonerskiego podejścia.
