Design of lower divertor for JT-60SA

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Agency, 801-1 Mukoyama, Naka, Ibaraki 311-0193 (Japan)

Description

Construction has just begun in the JT-60 Super Advanced (JT-60SA) tokamak project, which is part of the Japanese domestic program and the Japan - EU international program 'ITER Broader Approach'. All plasma facing components (PFCs) will be actively cooled because they are exposed to high heat flux for long duration. A lower single-null closed divertor with a vertical target (VT) will be installed when experiments begin. A divertor cassette integrated with coolant pipe connections will be used for remote handling maintenance. Each cassette covers a 10o sector in the toroidal direction. Modularized PFCs such as VTs, baffles, and domes will be assembled on divertor cassettes. Static structural analysis shows that the displacement and stress in the divertor module are generally small for determining the dead weight, coolant pressure, and electromagnetic forces (EMFs). However, the support structure of the outer baffle requires improvement because eddy currents generate concentrated overturning EMFs.
