“…The SYSCODE also provides an optimization tool and sensitivity analysis tool for system analysis and parameters optimization. At present, the whole framework and models were upgraded and benchmarked with results of ARIES System Code (ASC) [17,18]. In this contribution, the economic module was mainly used and the models were introduced in the following section.…”

“…The cost accounts models (base year is 2009) and related evaluation data mentioned above referred to Refs. [17] and [18]. The reactor structure model built by SYSCODE with radial distribution of main components was modified to ITERlike, which consistent with the design of CFETR, but different from that built by ASC.…”

Full superconducting tokamak and water-cooling Cu magnets tokamak are two options proposed for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). Based on the concept design, the total construction cost was assessed with System Analysis Program for Parameters Optimization and Economic Assessment of Fusion Reactor, and the economy of the two options was compared with considering the cost of electricity consumption in D-T burning operation stage. The total of both costs and D-T burning operation time for different material neutron radiation damage of the two options were also analyzed. The results showed that the two options would have different economic advantages in construction and operation, and that the Cu magnets tokamak option could save both time and cost if the required material neutron radiation damage of CFETR is \75 dpa.

“…The first step for the development of an integral conceptual design of a tokamak fusion reactor configuration is the definition of a preliminary set of design parameters for a network of complex analysis: A plasma scenario needs to be defined specifying key parameters, such as density, temperature, confinement time, pulse length, etc. [1], [2] and [3].…”

“…Also neutrons plasma radiation powers have to be evaluated in a dedicated system code plasma physics model, as already done in different existing systems codes [1] and [2]. In particular, the radiation power can be split into core radiation (i.e., Bremsstrahlung and Synchrotron radiations) and edge (line) radiation from the Scrape-off Layer (SOL) region.…”

In the KIT activities for the development of Tokamak fusion reactors are performed since more than one decade. Recently an approach has been launched for the creation of a design integrated system. This system will support the analysis work towards an optimized Tokamak DEMO reactor configuration. A system analysis tool aiming to describe main plasma physics and engineering features will be combined with semiautomatic systems for creation of reactor configurations and sets of boundary conditions Thus, data is generated and provided to different engineering platforms dedicated to each reactor system respectively. These platforms are the basis for detailed optimization and improvement of conceptual designs. This paper focuses of the semi-automatic computational tools in between the system code and the engineering platforms which will be used to create and provide analysis data and boundary conditions.
