The impact of the ITER-like wall at JET on disruptions

Abstract: The new full-metal ITER-like wall (ILW) at JET was found to have a profound impact on the physics of disruptions. The main difference is a significantly lower fraction (by up to a factor of 5) of energy radiated during the disruption process, yielding higher plasma temperatures after the thermal quench and thus longer current quench times. Thus, a larger fraction of the total energy was conducted to the wall resulting in larger heat loads. Active mitigation by means of massive gas injection became a necessity … Show more

“…Correlation with disruption force reveals that the number of detected dust particles increases strongly with disruption force (figure 3) and confirms the results shown in [10]. Moreover, it indicates that disruptions may stir-up dust particles present in the machine.…”

“…For each event, the elements responsible have been analysed using two VUV spectrometers, measuring respectively in range [10,100] nm and close to 5 nm. The first one measures spectral lines of Ni, Fe, Cr, Al and Cu, and can provide an indication of tungsten.…”

“…This results in a higher fraction of the energy to be conducted to the place facing components and also increases the current quench duration. The latter enhances the impulse exerted by the disruption on the vessel and could results in high vertical excursions of the vessel [26].…”
