The divertor is one of the key components of the EU-DEMO reactor. The development of a reliable solution for the power and impurity particle exhaust is recognized as a major challenge toward the realization of DEMO. The pre-conceptual design activities for the EU-DEMO divertor are carried on considering two project areas: the ‘Target development’, focusing on the design of the vertical targets...
For a successful operation of ITER and of future fusion reactors, several fusion devices are currently being exploited and upgraded. This paper focuses on the technical developments lead in JT-60SA (Japan) and Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X, Germany) fusion devices to provide support on the operation in metallic environment using operation conditions complementary to the current existing fusion...
The investigation on effect of the flowing liquid Li limiter (FLiLi) on fuel and impurity, and heat fluxe during high confinement mode (H-mode) plasma was recently performed in EAST, aiming to provide an alternative resolution for the divertor design of a future DEMO device. Four generations of liquid Li limiters have been have successively designed and tested including a thin flowing film...
Power exhaust is a key mission in the roadmap to the future fusion reactor. Several alternatives have been proposed, among which the use of liquid metals (LM) as plasma facing materials. The presentation will thus focus on the latter, as it will give an overview on the proposal for an high Z liquid metal divertor. A review of the main experiments performed in the last few decades on the...
