generation's International Tokamak Experimental Reactor, (ITER).IDEAL therefore, must be able to provide a A pre-conceptual design has been produced for a plasma device characteristic plasma footprint which is representative of to further divertor concepts and validate technology in support that expected on the ITER divertor. of the International Thermonuclear Experimental ReactorThe linear machine shown in Figure 1 satisfies the design program. The ITER Dlvertor Experiment and Laboratory (IDEAL) design effort is to develop a reliable, maintainable and requirements. A linear configuration was selected as it can robust facility for steady-state divertor simulation experiments, provide the necessary plasma flux and relational geometric The configuration includes a 30 meter vacuum vessel, enclosed conditions for a rep=esentative flux tube impacting an ITER within a set of 30 high field superconducting solenoid modules, divertor and yet allow a flexible, easily maintainable, a resistive quadrupole coil set, a radio-frequency heating system and a complement of diagnostics. It is planned to utilize machine focused on divertor physics and technology. The existing facilities, and off-the-shelf hardware, wherever possible divertor assemblies in this machine are located at the two to maxhnlze technological return on investment, ends which facilitates installation. A divertor can be fully replaced in less than ten days without requiring disassembly
