AbstractAbstract
[en] Shutdown of the plasma with a time-dependent one-point model is described. The pseudoclassical scaling law plays a role in the plasma diffusion in the low energy region below several keV and the trapped ion scaling law in the higher energy region. In this shutdown model, only deuterium is inserted during 20-second shutdown process. In the first 10 sec, while the plasma temperature, electron density and plasma current decrease from 7 keV to 1 keV, 1.1 x 1020m-3 to 1019m-3 and 4 MA respectively the fusion power falls down with gradual decrease of heating power. During the second 10 sec, while the plasma temperature, electron density and plasma current decrease from 1 keV to 100 keV, 1019m-3 to 1018m-3 and 1 MA to 100 kA respectively, the plasma thermal energy is removed. Plasma one-turn voltages are -4.0 volt and -0.5 -- -1.0 volt which fall the plasma current down to 1 MA and 100 kA during the first 10 sec and the second 10 sec, respectively. Decrease of plasma current largely lowers plasma density and energy since particle and energy confinement times decrease as plasma current decreases. Deuterium insertion rate below that in the equilibrium operation little lowers plasma density and energy. This plasma shutdown scheme is effective in driven-type reactors. (auth.)
