1 Integrated radiation monitoring and interlock system for the LHD deuterium experiments Nakanishi H. with Safety & Env. Monitoring Team and LHD Information Systems Group National Institute for Fusion Science, NINS, Japan SOKENDAI, Japan

2 Objectives of LHD deuterium experiment 1. High-performance plasmas through confinement improvement Scientific research in more reactor-relevant conditions Full of research opportunities 2. Clarification of the isotope effect on confinement Long-standing mystery in world fusion research Needs to be understood towards burning plasma 3. Demonstration of the confinement capability of energetic ions in helical systems Perspectives towards helical reactor 4. Isotope effect on PWI Global particle balance for hydrogen isotopes

3 Schedule for LHD deuterium experiment - Concluded the agreements for LHD deuterium experiment with local governments in Deuterium experiment has started since March 2017 and will last 9 years 2013 Preparation for D-experiment Hydrogen Experiments Agreements for D-exp. Legal License Upgrade for Heating System (NBI, ECH, ICRF) Upgrade for Diagnostics System (Neutron diagnostics, etc.) Installation of Safety Equipments (Tritium removal system, etc.) Remodeling of Building and Facilities 2016 Calibration Experiments for Neutron Diagnostics Deuterium Experiments (9 years) Preliminary Experiments for Commissioning Deuterium Experiments Closed Helical Divertor with Pumping System NBI: 18MW (60-80keV, 2sec) 14MW (180keV, 2sec) ECH: 6MW-3sec, 1MW-CW (77GHz & 154GHz) ICRF: 6MW-5sec, 2-3MW-CW Neutron Diagnostics High-energy Particle Measurement 3-Dimensional Measurement High-Accuracy Measurement Divertor Diagnostics Steady-State Data Acquisition PWI Laboratory Target in D-Exp.

6 Central Control & New Radiation Monitoring Central Control Interlock System New monitoring & interlock system has been installed as an extension of the central control system. Integrated Radiation Monitoring

7 In-situ neutron flux monitor (NFM) calibration 235 U fission chamber(fc), 10 B counter and 3 He proportional counter Neutron source: 252 Cf (800MBq,10 8 n/s) S n (n/s) = α C rate (cps): α should be obtained Train Black line in graph FC 10 B counter FC 10 B counter 3 He proportional counter 7

8 X(γ)-ray doses are monitored at 9 points on the site border ( ) and 5 points near the LHD building ( ). Neutron rem counters ( ) have been added for the deuterium experiment. X(γ) and neutron doses are always published on the Web. Environmental Radiation Monitoring RMSAFE ac.jp/map.php

9 Exhaust Gas Flow Monitor Air Flows must be monitored with the tritium densities and also the collection system. GUI is based on XAML & WPF/.NET framework. Exhaust Gas Flow Monitor Flowmeter

10 Consoles & Displays in LHD Control Room Radiation Monitoring & Interlock Displays Main Display Central Console Integrated Radiation Monitor & Interlock Console

11 New Radiation Monitors Neutron yield (weekly / annually) Plasma derived cumulative dose (/Sv) (annually / 3 month) Gas radioactivity concentration (Bq/cm 3 ) (exhaust tower / torus hall) Radiation safety interlock signals

12 Alert Expressions Just for System Demo! Background color turns yellow if over 60% of controlled value. The letters turns red if over 80% of controlled value.

13 Summary LHD has successfully started the deuterium experiment since March The integrated radiation monitoring system has been newly implemented with the extension of the safety interlock functionalities. As for the related data acquisitions, both of 24 hour continuous and on-sequence operations have been realized with the virtual DAQ to distinguish the plasma derived dose. Not only sensors but also data acquisition nodes have been carefully designed to have enough redundancy for some radiation measurements.
