Avoidance of VDEs during plasma current quench in JT-60U

Vertical displacement events (VDEs) during plasma current quench (Irho quench) are one of the serious problems encountered in designing tokamak fusion reactors, owing to the generation of enormously high electromagnetic forces on the vacuum vessel and in-vessel components, but they have been passively and actively avoided in JT-60U. In JT-60U `slow IP quench` is ended with very fast plasma current termination (final Irho termination), and the halo current is frequently measured at this final Irho termination. VDEs make the final Irho termination severe by increasing the halo current and the electromagnetic force. A strong dependence of VDE growth rate on the initial vertical position of the plasma current centre (ZJ) has been clarified experimentally, and a neutral point of ZJ for VDE has been found at ~15 cm above the midplane of the vacuum vessel. According to these measurements, VDE has been avoided by the selection of ZJ at the start of Irho quench (passive control) and by the control of ZJ during Irho quench (active control) eventually obtained owing to the small deviation of ZJ in real time calculations from its actual value. Furthermore, passive avoidance of VDEs by the injection of a neon ice pellet has been demonstrated

プラズマ電流クエンチ(Irho クエンチ)中の垂直変位事象(VDE)は、トカマク核融合炉の設計において遭遇する重大な問題の一つであり、真空容器および容器内機器に極めて大きな電磁力が発生するためであるが、JT-60Uではこれらは受動的および能動的に回避されてきた。JT-60Uにおいて、緩やかなIrho クエンチは非常に速いプラズマ電流終結(最終Irho 終結)で終了し、ハロー電流はこの最終Irho 終結時に頻繁に測定された。VDEはハロー電流と電磁力を増大させることにより、最終Irho 終結を過酷なものにする。VDEの成長速度がプラズマ電流中心の初期垂直位置(ZJ)に強く依存することが実験的に明らかにされ、真空容器の赤道面から約15cm上方にVDEに関するZJの中立点が存在することが見出された。これらの測定結果に基づき、Irho クエンチ開始時のZJの選択(受動制御)およびIrho クエンチ中のZJの制御(能動制御)によりVDEは回避され、最終的には実時間計算におけるZJの実際の値からの小さな偏差により、ネオン氷ペレットの注入によるVDEの受動的回避が実証された。
