Manufacture, testing and assembly preparation of the JET vacuum vessel

  • 1. Euratom/UKAEA Fusion Association, Abingdon (UK). Culham Lab.

Description

To reach the target pressure of 10-9 mbar, JET's double-walled Inconel vacuum vessel is being manufactured and assembled in clean conditions and with meticulous leak detection. Each octant (1/8 of the torus) is baked in an oven to 5200C and leak tested at 3500C to reveal leaks as small as 10-9 mbar l/s, which are repaired. In service the vessel will be baked periodically to 5000C by CO2 passing between its walls. The single-walled ports will be electrically heated. (author)
