2 Outline Introduction Massive gas injection for mitigation of thermal loads Forces on VV and in vessel components Suppression of runaway electrons Conclusions Page 2
3 Introduction ITER vacuum vessel and in-vessel components are designed mechanically to withstand EM loads from the expected 2600 typical 15 MA disruptions (current quench time ms) and 400 typical VDE However, local thermal loads during plasma disruptions significantly (10 times!) exceed melting threshold of divertor targets and FW panels A reliable Disruption Mitigations System (DMS) must be developed and installed in ITER prior to the full scale operation which will start in Presently it is at conceptual design phase Page 3
4 Introduction (2) Plasma current Plasma energy H- mode L- mode TQ CQ RE current t Typical chain of events during plasma disruption The largest thermal loads occur during Thermal Quench Major mechanical forces act on plasma facing components during Current Quench Runaway electrons can be generated during Current Quench Page 4
5 MGI can to re-radiate most of plasma thermal energy Challenge for ITER DMS: re-radiate ~300 MJ of plasma thermal energy in about 3 ms and distribute it uniformly over FW Experimental results from present tokamaks with pre-emptive injection of high Z gases are very encouraging E.Hollmann, NF 2008 M. Lehnen, IAEA 2010 ASDEX-Upgrade % G.Pautasso, Pl.Phys,2009 Alcator C-mod ~75% R.S. Granetz, NF 2007 JET ~ 90% M.Lehnen, ITPA 2011 Page 5
6 Few kpa*m 3 is needed to radiate plasma energy in ITER Radiation fraction % Q rad (%) cm 20cm r = 40cm Assuming assimilation factor of injected impurity of 5-10% the gross amount of injected impurity must be: Ne ~ 1-2 kpa*m 3 It is well within the capability of pumping and gas processing systems Uniform distribution of radiation over the wall is important. Not much margin for peaking 300MJ/800m 2 = MJ/m N Ne (1022 ) 1D numerical simulation by ASTRA + ZIMPUR codes. Plasma density m -3, plasma thermal energy 350 MJ. Better understanding of physics processes during TQ is needed 3D codes accounting for MHD perturbations, atomic physics, and radiation transport should be developed Page 6
7 Forces impose constrain on maximum amount of gas DMS goal CQ (ms) The major EM loads on the VV and in vessel components occur during current quench of a disruption and following plasma VDE DMS goal is to transform very short and very long CQ into disruptions with CQ time ms Page 7
8 MGI of noble gas can significantly reduce CQ time CQ time (linear) vs amount of injected Ne for mitigation of TQ (corona radiation). I = 15 MA, n DT = m -3 Simple 0D model, j 2 / = P rad, reasonably well describes current decay at CQ There is still a reasonably large window of kpa*m 3 to mitigate thermal loads without excessive forces on the in-vessel components Mitigation of TQ energy loads by MGI is consistent with acceptable CQ duration Page 8
9 Better understanding CQ plasmas is needed Plasma parameters during CQ: n= m -3, T = 10 ev, CQ ~ 40 ms Ion and electron mean free path in CQ plasmas: i ~ e ~1 cm Pressure equilibration time along the field lines: p ~2R/C s ~ 1 ms -> pressure is constant along magnetic field lines. Temperature equilibration time: ~ L 2 / > 100 ms! Temperature and, hence, electrical resistance can be not constant on magnetic surface after MGI Variation of plasma resistivity will result in electrostatic perturbations E = E 0 gradand magnetic perturbations. How long does it takes for them to decay? Page 9
10 Runaway electrons must be suppressed in ITER Massive runaway electrons can be produced during CQ of plasma disruptions in ITER. Avalanche is primary mechanism for ITER I, MA I p I vv 4 I RE 2 time, ms Numerical simulation of CQ in ITER by DINA code. n DT = m -3, Ar impurity, 7% Very large peaking of RE loads and long range of MeV electrons in FW materials can result in a deep melting of FW Be panels The goal for DMS is reduction of RE current to less then 2MA Page 10
11 RE avalanche is very important in ITER Close collisions of high energy electrons with cold electrons of the plasma can result in RE avalanche 1 di RE E 1 E I RE dt 1 ~ E c loss Ec Avalanche will result in exponential growth of high energy electrons when E > E c ~ 0.05 n e,20. At CQ time ms E >> E c. Number of e-folds 2I pma ~ 30. The avalanche will continue until all resistive current will decay and E will drop to E c. I LI / RE L RE The RE energy is either not sensitive to the plasma parameters d dt eec n n RA RA n eec n RA RA mc 2 2 1/ 2 3ln MeV These results are corroborated by numerous numerical simulations Page 11
12 RE current has to be reduced to < 2 MA Kinetic energy of RE scales as I RE and is expected to be ~10 MJ at I RE ~10 MA. Magnetic energy of RE scales as I RE2 and is about 200 MJ The critical question: how much magnetic energy will be transferred to RE kinetic energy during CQ? Results of analysis of experimental data from JET (A.Loarte et.al. 2011) suggest that up to 40% of magnetic energy have been transferred in some shots Total energy of RE as function of RE current. Average electron energy = 12 MeV and l i = 1 for the RE current More theoretical and experimental work is needed to resolve this uncertainty Page 12
13 Collisional suppression of RE is challenging in ITER Avalanche can be suppressed by: increase of electron density to enhance collisional slow down of RE enhancement of RE loss, loss <1 Reaching critical density will likely be above capability of the machine Collisional suppression might work if RE will be suppressed at density 30-50% of Rosenbluth s density Ratio Ec/E as function of Ne amount in the plasma (red). CQ time is also shown (blue) Page 13
14 Suppression of RE electrons by repetitive gas jets Large magnetic perturbations and secondary disruptions can be produced by dense gas jets injected repetitively in the CQ plasma Plasma current CQ RE current Dense and resistive gas jet contracts current channel TQ t Required gas pressure in the jet ~ 1 atm, gas amount ~1 kpa*m 3, 5-6 jets during CQ (staggered in time by >= 5 ms ). Based on estimates the total amount of gas can be 10 times less then for collisional damping! R&D is in progress to test this scheme in Tore-Supra, ASDEX-U, T-10. Page 14
15 Triggering MHD by contracting current profile Cylindrical geometry, ideal wall at b = 1.3a, low m modes Current profile changed by introduction of high resistivity at the plasma edge. Skin current added to the edge of current channel to conserve flux at the moving edge Current profile has to shrink up to q = 2 (r ~0.7a) to trigger major MHD event Page 15

17 Gas delivery systems for DMS DMS requires gas delivery time ~10 ms for TQ mitigation and < 5 ms for RE suppression. To achieve high pressure in the gas jet valve must be close to the plasma. Harsh environment in ITER make it difficult. Several concepts of gas delivery systems with response time ~1-2 ms have been suggested for ITER and are presently in the development phase Injector for large cryogenic pellets shuttered upon entry into the chamber is an alternative way to mitigate TQ (under development in ORNL) Page 17
18 Summary and conclusions A reliable Disruption Mitigation System must be developed over the coming few years if ITER to be ready for the full scale operation to begin around 2022 Mitigation system based on MGI seems to be a viable candidate to significantly reduce peak heat loads and EM loads during disruptions in ITER. New scheme to suppress RE could allow reduction of gas amount by 10 times reducing stress on the ITER systems. Test shall be carried out on Tore-Supra, AUG, and T-10 tokamaks. Experimental and theoretical results in the following areas are critical for DMS in ITER: Minimum amount of impurities to re-radiate 90% of thermal energy and scaling(s) for extrapolation to ITER Data on non-uniformity of impurity radiation during MGI Better understanding processes during TQ and CQ Experimental tests of RE suppression by repetitive gas jets Development of ways to avoid or predict approaching disruption Page 18
