2 The Advanced Tokamak Introduction: What is an advanced tokamak? The AT vision for fusion energy Drawing heavily on ARIES studies. Current results and near-term prospects Focusing here on US program. AT on ITER: What we will (and won t) learn. Research Opportunities: ideas to advance and accelerate fusion energy prospects. To start the discussion.
3 An advanced tokamak device is, in terms of magnetic configuration, simply a TOKAMAK Pure toroidal field does not confine charged particles Adding poloidal field does confine charged particles. Produced by toroidal current. Tokamak needs a toroidal current for stability. Current conventionally driven by tranformer; - Current is driven around central solenoid. Inherently NOT steady-state.
4 Tokamaks lead other configurations in fusion performance, are approaching breakeven ITER D. Meade, ARIES workshop 4/24/05
5 Conventional tokamak operation will be primary mode of operation on ITER Heating applied mainly on-axis, inductive current drive, profiles relax to natural state. Much experience worldwide, good confidence in extrapolation to burning plasma conditions. This will allow critical exploration of burning plasma physics. Could probably be used to make a fusion power plant. Advantages of relative simplicity, staying away from performance limits. BUT projected power plant not seen as economically attractive (at least in prior assessments with low cost oil!)
6 Tokamak current does not have to be driven by a transformer! Alternative means of current drive: External current drive, by neutral beams, or microwaves (various ranges from ion cyclotron (~100 MHz), Lower Hybrid (~ 5 GHz), electron cyclotron (~100 GHz)) Bootstrap current : Self-generated current due to temperature, density, pressure gradients in the plasma. All of these are fairly well understood, and have been demonstrated to work on many experiments. Gives potential for steady-state operation. The crucial distinguishing feature of an Advanced Tokamak over a conventional tokamak is the use of active control of the current or shear profile, and of the pressure profile or transport characteristics (AT Workshop, GA, 1999) Same tokamaks can (and do) operate in both conventional and advanced regimes.

17 Advanced Tokamak Research on current experiments What is needed? key issues What results have already been obtained? Near-term plans and prospects.
18 Physics Requirements for Advanced Tokamak For STEADY STATE, want 100% non-induction current drive (external + self-generated Bootstrap For low recirculating power, good economics, want High bootstrap fraction 80-90% self-generated. To get this, need high normalized pressure, β N. This requires low transport, to get high gradients, which in turn are enabled by optimized current profile. High pressure itself improves economics. Highly coupled control of current, transport profiles needed for times long compared to plasma time scales, eg. energy confinement time τ E, current relaxation time τ CR.
19 Many of these requirements have been demonstrated in present expts As examples, show recent results from DIII-D tokamak, San Diego at 2005 APS-DPP meeting (A. Garafolo, Univ. Columbia, M. Murakami, ORNL) and from C-Mod, MIT DIII-D results rely heavily on MHD stabilization techniques to reach high β. This important aspect of AT research will be covered this afternoon by G. Navratil. Other world tokamaks, in particular JT-60U (Japan) and ASDEX- Upgrade (Germany) also have strong AT programs, range of control tools. Will not attempt a comprehensive review here! Also important work on advanced scenarios in spherical (low aspect ratio) tokamaks NSTX (PPPL) and MAST (UK), which will (I presume) be covered in talk by Martin Peng.
20 Advanced Tokamak Goal is Steady-state Operation Combined with High Fusion Performance Steady state operation 100% non-inductive current High β P, high fraction of bootstrap current High fusion gain High β, high τ E High normalized fusion performance: G = β N H 89 /q 95 2 Fusion power Negative Central Shear Bootstrap current Stability to high-n ballooning modes and neoclassical tearing modes Suppression of transport Good alignment of bootstrap current with total current Hollow current profile, wall-stabilization of low-n kink modes
21 Recent DIII-D Experiments Achieved High Fusion Performance at High Bootstrap Current Fraction Combination of high confinement, high beta, and high bootstrap fraction sustained for ~2 s Multiple control tools needed, including Simultaneous ramping of plasma current and toroidal field Simultaneous Feedback Control of Error Fields and Resistive Wall Mode Transport analysis confirms presence of internal transport barriers (ITBs) in high β discharges Stability analysis indicates potential for higher beta operation High noninductive current fraction (~100%) has been achieved Steady-state sustainment will be pursued with new DIII-D tools
22 High Normalized Beta (β N ~4) Sustained for ~2 s at High Safety Factor and High Confinement β N > 6l i for ~2 s Relies on wall stabilization of the n=1 external kink mode (conventional stability limit ~4l i ) High performance phase generally terminated by current profile evolution (m,n) = (2,1) tearing mode
23 High β Discharge Profiles Show NCS and ITBs Strong gradients typical of ITBs are observed in T i, n e and rotation profiles, but not in T e Pressure peaking factor, P(0)/<P> varies in range during high beta phase P(0)/<P>=2.9 f GW ~

28 Issues and Near-term plans for Advanced Tokamak Research While much has been achieved, much more remains to be done to realize potential of advanced regimes on burning plasmas, and fusion reactors. Most scenarios are still non-stationary (t < τ CR ), and/or rely on current profile control techniques (eg, tailored heating during current rampup, central NBI) which don t extrapolate to steady state. Most present experiments have plasma conditions quite different from burning plasmas. Eg. Uncoupled (τ e-i >> τ Ε ) vs coupled (τ e-i << τ Ε ) electrons and ions (lower vs higher density) Core particle and momentum sources (vs RF, alpha htg.) Both factors strongly affect transport barrier formation. Handling of high heat loads in divertor common to all attractive configurations and will be covered in talk by Mike Ulrickson.
29 Experiments at Higher q min and Higher β N Will Address Steady-state Demonstration New divertor and improved density control will slow down q min evolution By allowing higher temperature at lower density By allowing higher ECCD at lower density Additional ECCD power will improve current profile control Higher β N at higher q min will give higher bootstrap current Will reduce Ohmic current at large radii Will overdrive at small radii Compensate overdrive using ECCD, FW, Counter NBI
30 Advanced Tokamak Research on C-Mod AT research is an increasingly important focus on C-Mod, which is a compact (R=.68 m), high B (5-8 T), high n e ( m -3 ) tokamak. Unique among world divertor tokamaks, can test AT physics and scenarios At ITER field and density (key wave physics parameters). Without core particle or momentum sources (all RF heating) Strongly coupled ions and electrons (τ e-i << τ Ε ) Pulse lengths >> current relaxation times, routinely. (ie., steady-state, relaxed j(r)). ITER-level divertor fluxes. Important challenge and test: Will AT regimes scenarios work as well in these conditions, typical of ITER and reactors?? Program focuses on control of current and magnetic shear as well as transport and kinetic profiles with various shear profiles. RF systems (ICRF +LHCD) provide key control tools. LHCD is highest efficiency technique for current drive far off axis. Also adding new cryopump, important for density control. In near term, rely on shape and profile control to maximize no-wall limit β N ~3. Longer term, would like to add active stabilization.

33 Advanced Scenarios on ITER As a burning plasma experiment, ITER will explore a range of physics parameters and scenarios. To guide planning, currently focusing on three main target scenarios, all at B T =5.3 T. Still some flexibility/uncertainty in sources, parameters. 1. Conventional H-mode: Baseline Scenario, Q=10.Positive shear, q 95 =3, β N =1.8, H H ~1, n~10 20 m -3. f NI ~ MAIN ITER GOAL! 2.

34 What we can (and can t) expect from ITER Demonstration of advanced, high non-inductive scenarios on ITER would be an extremely important step towards an AT DEMO reactor! Would resolve many uncertainties about applicability with BPrelevant plasma parameters and control tools, as outlined above. Would start addressing key control issues with self-heating. A key goal of the current US program is to conduct research that will support AT on ITER, and to push for needed hardware. BUT Because steady-state mission on ITER is secondary, it is NOT an optimized machine for AT. For example, Shaping flexibility is limited. Heating and current drive likely underpowered. Much depends on hardware decisions not yet made, eg. Will ITER have LHCD, needed for off-axis CD? How much? Will ITER have active control coils to reach highest β? US will be pushing for these, but we won t call all the shots! Coming year or two is critical.
35 Research Opportunities What are key questions/topics which would take advanced tokamak from interesting and attractive scientific research to a fusion energy source? Which are NOT likely to be funded in near-term US-DOE program? As a general principle, I assume that issues of direct application to ITER will likely get priority, and (hopefully) adequate funding. More general but still important issues or those aiming at steps beyond ITER, and fusion energy application, are likely to get less resources.
36 CONTROL ISSUES TOP MY LIST A fusion reactor or DEMO would need to run for long periods, close to stability limits, and with all profiles well optimized and controlled. In high-bootstrap scenario, these are tightly coupled Current profile derived mainly from n, T profiles, which in turn depend on both sources and transport. MANY interactions! Limited external control of j(r). How much is needed? Pressure/current profiles need to be aligned for stability. Heat mainly coming from fusion burn reduces controllability. I would like to see a more focussed effort on demonstrating active, integrated profile control not just tailoring of profiles applicable to a specific machine or experiment (eg by adjusting heating times in rampup). This likely won t just happen, even with ITER coming. Would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach, from plasma physics experimentalists and theorists, plus engineering, controls, power systems experts.

38 Can we develop a transport control tool? Part of the difficulty in profile control is the indirect nature of controlling temperature and density profiles. We control heat and particle sources and, if we are fortunate, current profiles. Plasma transport determines T, n profiles. While there is good progress in understanding transport (to be covered in talks by Tynan, Dorland), it is highly complex, with gaps in our knowledge; not easily amenable to control algorithms! χ D have been shown to be affected by j(r), by heating profile, by shear flow The goal is NOT minimum transport, but optimum transport otherwise pressure limits exceeded, impurities and ash accumulate. A holy grail of transport and control research is an active control tool for transport, independent of heat sources. Best hopes are for RF tools, which could eg. drive flow shear, modifying χ at specific location. There are ideas (eg, Ion Bernstein Waves), but currently not a focused experimental and theoretical effort. Could I think be done with modest funding, including expt-theory collaboration and small-scale lab tests. Would be high leverage for AT fusion development.
39 Other pressing issues Most of these will I expect come up in other talks, and are active areas of international fusion research Improved divertor solutions and materials for steady state, reactor-level heat fluxes. Compatibility of core and edge plasmas in advanced modes (closely related to divertor issue) MHD control tools for sustaining high beta, suppressing code instabilities. Disruption avoidance and mitigation. Extension to longer pulse lengths EAST and KSTAR will play important roles, though experience suggests it will take several years to develop needed AT tools.
40 Summary: The Advanced Tokamak The advanced tokamak is a tokamak operational scenario characterized by high degree of control of current and pressure profiles. Leads to optimized fusion reactor designs (eg ARIES-AT, RS) which are steady-state, have low recirculating power and lower size and cost than conventional tokamaks. Extrapolates to competitive cost of electricity. Current experiments have demonstrated many key needed features, such as high β, reduced transport and non-inductive current drive. Near-term research aims at extending such results to steady-state and demonstrating in more burning-plasma relevant conditions. ITER will be an important test of advanced scenarios in a burning plasma! But, this is a secondary mission and the device may not have optimal design and tools. Further research is needed to go from current experiments to confidence in an advanced tokamak DEMO reactor, in particular more tools, understanding and experience in active control.
