“…For ripples generated by a finite number of toroidal field coils such an approach works well but in some cases a toroidally and poloidally localized perturbation is created which cannot be decomposed adequately with a manageable number of harmonics. Such highly localized perturbations are expected in front of the TBM in ITER because of the significant amount of ferritic steel that is used in those modules [27]. Two examples of toroidal ripple fields are shown in figure 10 where a conventional ripple induced by a finite number of toroidal field coils is shown for NSTX while a localized ripple in DIII-D that was deliberately induced by a set of coils to create the expected (scaled) fields in ITER induced by one pair of TBMs.…”

The numerical methods used in the full particle-orbit following SPIRAL code are described and a number of physics studies performed with the code are presented to illustrate its capabilities. The SPIRAL code is a test-particle code and is a powerful numerical tool to interpret and plan fast-ion experiments in tokamaks. Gyro-orbit effects are important for fast ions in low-field machines such as NSTX and to a lesser extent in DIII-D. A number of physics studies are interlaced between the description of the code to illustrate its capabilities. Results on heat loads generated by a localized error-field on the DIII-D wall are compared with measurements. The enhanced Triton losses caused by the same localized error-field are calculated and compared with measured neutron signals. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity such as tearing modes and toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs) have a profound effect on the fast-ion content of tokamak plasmas and SPIRAL can calculate the effects of MHD activity on the confined and lost fast-ion population as illustrated for a burst of TAE activity in NSTX. The interaction between ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) heating and fast ions depends solely on the gyro-motion of the fast ions and is captured exactly in the SPIRAL code. A calculation of ICRF absorption on beam ions in ITER is presented. The effects of high harmonic fast wave heating on the beam-ion slowing-down distribution in NSTX is also studied.

“…The LLCB-Test Blanket System (TBS) includes several ancillary systems, namely primary HCS, LLCS, the secondary HCS (for Pb-Li), the tritium extraction system (from Pb-Li and helium purge gas), the coolant purification system and the control/instrumentation system. Some components of these systems are located in the port cell #02, the remaining components are located in level 4 and in level 2 of the tritium building [4].…”
