Lithium splashing from flowing liquid lithium limiter and its effect on high confinement plasma performance in EAST tokamak

To study the potential applications of liquid lithium (Li) as plasma facing material, the third generation of flowing liquid Li (FLiLi) limiter has been designed and successfully tested in EAST tokamak H-mode discharges in the 2018 run campaign. Here, the stability of liquid Li on FLiLi surface, and Li splashing and its effect on the plasma performance are investigated in detail. Li splashing was observed in L-mode and H-mode discharges due to Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability, resulting from electromagnetic forces J → x B → . Li splashing in low-parameter plasma decreased both core and edge electron temperatures, resulting in the degradation of plasma energy confinement and even H-L back transition, however, it almost did not influence plasma confinement performance in high-parameter plasma. These findings indicate that high-parameter plasma has higher tolerance to Li impurities than low-parameter plasma. By contrast, tungsten splashing from the melted layer on the upper divertor was also induced by the R-T instability but generally resulted in plasma disruption, which suggests lower tolerance to tungsten impurities in EAST tokamak.

Neutron irradiation-enhanced grain growth in tungsten and tungsten alloys

Herein, to understand the microstructural stability of candidate plasma-facing materials under fusion-relevant environments, neutron irradiation of W and W-3%Re alloys with and without K and La dopants was performed in the mixed-spectrum High Flux Isotope Reactor at nominal temperatures of ~850 °C and ~1100 °C to calculated doses between 0.42 and 0.47 dpa. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first experimental evidence of radiation-enhanced recrystallization in W and undoped W–Re alloys at ~850 °C, conditions where thermal annealing does not cause any grain growth in a similar timescale. Potassium- or lanthanum-doped tungsten alloys showed more resistance to radiation-enhanced grain growth. We explain the acceleration of grain growth by analyzing the self-diffusion constant under atomic displacement environments. The microstructural observations of the studied W variants suggest that La doping is more effective than K doping for mitigating recrystallization. This study also found that radiation-enhanced recrystallization is an important consideration when designing and applying W to plasma-facing components in future nuclear fusion reactors.

Fascinating physics at the edge of magnetic fusion devices

Abstract The physics of the processes at the edge of magnetic fusion devices is multifaceted and exhibits complex, nonlinear synergistic effects. Even though this region occupies only a small portion of the whole device, it plays a crucial role in overall plasma confinement, heat exhaust, and plasma–wall interactions. The latter affects not only the performance but also the lifetime of plasma-facing components and therefore remains an outstanding challenge for future fusion reactors. At the edge of fusion devices, researchers are dealing with phenomena including classical and anomalous plasma transport, atomic physics effects, and physics of plasma-facing material under strong irradiation by particle and energy fluxes. The diversity of edge physics makes it particularly attractive for young scientists. Working in this field, they can find endless possibilities to demonstrate their talents and creativity. This short review describes just some of the basic scrape-off layer and divertor plasma phenomena including divertor plasma detachment, intermittent bursts of anomalous cross-field plasma transport, plasma–material interactions, and dust in fusion plasmas, which are of particular interest in relation to fusion reactors.

Overview of the COMPASS results *

COMPASS addressed several physical processes that may explain the behaviour of important phenomena. This paper presents results related to the main fields of COMPASS research obtained in the recent two years, including studies of turbulence, L–H transition, plasma material interaction, runaway electron, and disruption physics: Tomographic reconstruction of the edge/SOL turbulence observed by a fast visible camera allowed to visualize turbulent structures without perturbing the plasma. Dependence of the power threshold on the X-point height was studied and related role of radial electric field in the edge/SOL plasma was identified. The effect of high-field-side error fields on the L–H transition was investigated in order to assess the influence of the central solenoid misalignment and the possibility to compensate these error fields by low-field-side coils. Results of fast measurements of electron temperature during ELMs show the ELM peak values at the divertor are around 80% of the initial temperature at the pedestal. Liquid metals were used for the first time as plasma facing material in ELMy H-mode in the tokamak divertor. Good power handling capability was observed for heat fluxes up to 12 MW m –2 and no direct droplet ejection was observed. Partial detachment regime was achieved by impurity seeding in the divertor. The evolution of the heat flux footprint at the outer target was studied. Runaway electrons were studied using new unique systems—impact calorimetry, carbon pellet injection technique, wide variety of magnetic perturbations. Radial feedback control was imposed on the beam. Forces during plasma disruptions were monitored by a number of new diagnostics for vacuum vessel (VV) motion in order to contribute to the scaling laws of sideways disruption forces for ITER. Current flows towards the divertor tiles, incl. possible short-circuiting through PFCs, were investigated during the VDE experiments. The results support ATEC model and improve understanding of disruption loads.

Be Surface Structures on W(110) and W(211): A DFT Study

Beryllium and Tungsten are promising candidates for use as plasma facing materials (PFMs) in upcoming fusion reactors. Many complex and competing phenomena however complicate the understanding and development of materials that operate in the harsh conditions of the reactor. In particular, redeposition of Be onto the W divertor must be considered due to the expected erosion of the Be first wall under exposure to the plasma. It is known that a build up of Be on W allows for the formation of BeW alloys which can harm the longevity and performance of the fusion divertor. In an effort to understand the interaction of Be with W surfaces, a study of Be structures on W(110) and W(211) as a function of Be coverage has been carried out using Density Functional Theory. We have found that both W surfaces develop monolayers of Be characterized by a densely packed hexagonal structure. Below this monolayer coverage, Be structures are found to have two motifs of coverage, a densely packed hexagonal pattern punctuated by areas of low-density coverage. The structures found here produce work function values and trends in good agreement with experimental measurements.

The effect of ICRH and NBI on tungsten transport in neon edge radiation cooled discharges in TEXTOR

Tungsten is planned to be the plasma-facing material for the main chamber and divertor in future devices like ITER, SPARC, and DTT. To address risks associated with tungsten, R&D is being carried out on various toroidal confinement devices. One particular research question is related to the optimum heating mix for ITER. To investigate the influence of the heating scheme on the release and transport of tungsten, a comparison of neutral beam injection (NBI) and ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating was carried out in TEXTOR tungsten test limiter experiments. The experiments were performed under standard L-mode conditions and in radiative improved-mode operation with neon seeding and boronized walls covering the graphite plasma-facing components. The plasma was heated with hydrogen or deuterium NBI alone or with deuterium NBI in combination with H-minority, ion cyclotron resonance heating. A movable solid tungsten limiter was inserted through a limiter lock system into the edge plasma. The impurity release from this limiter was evaluated from visible spectroscopy. The tungsten concentrations in the plasma core were determined by extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy and bolometry. With deuterium NBI alone, strong central radiation and accumulation of W was observed. This can, however, be avoided by adding ICRF heating.

Characterization of boundary precipitation in a heavy ion irradiated tungsten heavy alloy under the simulated fusion environment

In the concerted effort to identify materials capable of surviving the adverse environment of a fusion reactor interior, tungsten heavy alloys have been put forth as leading candidates. Experimental trials and behavioral studies have yielded positive results for their adoption by taking advantage of the alloy’s unique balance of inherently high fracture toughness and low sputter yields; yet due to their relative novelty in the fusion community, there remains a lack of understanding on the response of these materials to the extended high temperature irradiation environment of the reactor interior. Further, to alleviate this issue and provide the necessary data on the behavior of tungsten heavy alloys to the simulated fusion environment, a 90W-7Ni-3Fe alloy has been subjected to elevated temperature sequential Ni + and He + ion irradiations to mimic the expected displacement damage and gas production expected after five years of service as a plasma facing material component. Atomic-scale structural analyses and nanoscale chemical mapping have identified the formation of two distinct precipitation structures, a surface localized η-carbide and an a-W 2 C type tungsten carbide, both of which appear to originate at the bi-phase interface between W and the ductile phase. This irradiation assisted and induced precipitate formation respectively is anticipated to adversely affect these materials by selective embrittlement at bi-phase interfaces leading to a reduction in the material’s overall fracture toughness during prolonged high temperature irradiation. It is asserted that any potential exposure to C during fusion reactor operational service should be minimized as to prevent the formation of these phases.

Nested Pebble Bed Blanket (NesPeB)

Recent advances in magnetic confinement fusion technology have attracted billions of dollars of investments in startups from venture capitals and corporations, resulting in the development of devices aiming to demonstrate net energy gain in a self-heated burning plasma, such as SPARC (under construction) and others. However, future fusion power plants must operate in regimes that will require technologies far beyond current experience. According to a National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine report, to have nuclear fusion power plants contributing in a timely manner to the planned reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a pilot plant should be built by 2035, and it should demonstrate fusion power production and the performance of the tritium fuel system (requiring a high enough tritium breeding) by 2040. A recognized key technology gap by [26] is the fusion first wall and blanket since no current blanket concept is considered satisfactory or has been built and proven. The first wall and blanket in magnetic fusion reactors form a vital and complex system, as it must satisfy different functions such as power extraction, tritium breeding, plasma containment, radiation shielding, and safety. The list of design requirements is even longer: high enough tritium production for fusion self-sufficiency, low material activation, decay heat and shutdown dose rates, high thermal efficiency, high-capacity factor, high magnets-divertor-vacuum vessel-first wall life, low corrosion, low cost, and intrinsically safe (requiring minimal licensing). Despite fifty-plus years of research, the first wall and blanket concepts proposed suffer from fundamental technical problems and immaturity (TRL=2-3) that jeopardize the timely delivery of a commercial fusion power plant. A fusion first-wall blanket has never been built nor tested, and a "winning", practical functioning design requires enough engineering margins (high enough tritium breeding considering the uncertainty, etc.), manufacturing simplicity, ease of continuous operation, maintenance, and low cost. A new, groundbreaking blanket concept called "Nested Pebble Bed Blanket" (NesPeB) was developed at ORNL under the successful ARPA-E GAMOW FERMI project (patent application allowed by the USPTO). The NesPeB blanket concept addresses current blanket concepts' shortcomings and technical immaturity, paving the way for accelerated delivery of fusion power plants. NesPeB is based on nested pebbles, which are binary-sized lithium-ceramic pebbles enclosed in "Beryllide" perforated and coated spherical shells, which are also binary-sized, stacked on top of each other, forming a "bed" and cooled by Nitrogen gas also "sweeping" the Helium and Tritium generated by the neutron irradiation of Lithium; the vacuum vessel plasma facing material is Molybdenum-96 and -97 with the first wall cooled by Helium while the divertor armor is made of Tungsten. The simulations of the NesPeB blanket using Fusion Reactors Models Integrator (FERMI) are encouraging as they estimate a tritium breeding ratio (TBR) greater than 1.2 using natural Lithium, acceptable pressure drop, and excellent heat transfer properties. Furthermore, the NesPeB blanket is not limited by magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) effects, is designed for online refueling, relies on existing tritium extraction technologies, has a simple construction, and limits the corrosion and chemical reactivity problems. NesPeB has the potential to be transformational and disruptive since it can solve all the main, challenging technical problems of fusion device blankets and accelerate a pilot plant delivery for 10 or more years.

Understanding the limitations and potential of micro tensile testing of tungsten and needs for crystal plasticity modelling

Tungsten is the leading plasma facing material candidate due to its exceptional properties. Understanding the response to neutron irradiation is crucial for the lifetime evaluation of tungsten. The limited space in nuclear reactors and the high levels of radioactivity of the specimens after irradiation are significant barriers to accurately measuring the mechanical properties after neutron irradiation. Testing of micro tensile specimens is one approach to reduce the total amount of irradiated material needed for a set of mechanical testing experiments. However, micro samples are not necessarily measuring the bulk material properties, as size effects produce higher measured mechanical properties than is observed in engineering size counterparts. Determining the minimal sample size for reliable bulk property measurement, combined with modeling efforts, is essential. We conducted room temperature tensile tests on tungsten micro tensile specimens fabricated with focused ion beam, plasma focused ion beam and femto-second laser ablation system to dimension of 2×2×7?µm³, 7×7×18?µm³, and 80×100×233?µm³ (width×thickness×gauge-length), respectively. Elevated tensile testing was performed up to 475°C on 5×5×18?µm³ specimens fabricated with focused ion beam. The smallest specimens exhibited a high degree of ductility and strength, whereas the largest specimens demonstrated behavior akin to bulk tungsten. To investigate the effects introduced by the micro specimen fabrication processes and to obtain the necessary bulk dislocation density for the crystal plasticity model, we employed X-ray diffraction depth profiling. This measurement was performed using different X-ray sources with varying penetration depths. Finally, the potential and limitations of micro mechanical tests for tungsten will be discussed.

Three-Dimensional Heat Flux and Thermal Analysis of Angled Tungsten Samples on DIII-D

ITER-grade tungsten and dispersoid-strengthened tungsten samples with the top surface angled at ~15° towards the incident plasma flux were exposed to 9 H-mode discharges with edge-localized modes (ELMs) in the lower divertor of DIII-D tokamak using the Divertor Material Evaluation System (DiMES). Surface damage included cracking and flaking of material on the two samples farthest away from the plasma strike point, and significant melting of the two samples closest to the strike point. Heat flux and thermal analysis tools new to DIII-D have been applied to better understand this material response and to help optimize the exposure conditions for future experiments. SMITER field-line tracing simulations based on IRTV data and EFIT equilibria estimate an average inter-ELM perpendicular heat flux, 𝑞⊥,𝑖nter−𝐸LM , on the angled surfaces of 10.1 – 19.6 MW/m² for a majority of the 9 discharges, increasing to 15.6 – 24.5 MW/m² for the single, higher-power shot where samples melted. Fast camera data showed shallow intra-ELM melting and re-solidification, which transitioned to bulk inter-ELM melting with melt motion in the 𝐽⃗ 𝑥 𝐵⃗ direction. About 50% of the protruding volume of the most affected sample was displaced via melt-motion. SIERRA thermal modeling software was able to reproduce an onset time of melting consistent with fast camera data and final sample conditions, within < 200 ms. Maximum surface temperatures of 3122 K and 2787 K are estimated for the samples farthest away from the strike point, while the closest samples achieve melting at 4067 ms and 4750 ms into the ~5000 ms plasma exposure. A +10% increase in both the SMITER 𝑞⊥,𝑖nter−𝐸LM calculations and the estimated ELM heat loads 𝑞⊥, 𝐸LM was required to achieve this result, which is within the uncertainty of the diagnostic data but likely accounts for non-ideal geometry effects plus other physics uncertainties not included in this first iteration of modeling. This work provided valuable estimates of the 3D temperature evolution to help better understand the observed surface morphology and internal recrystallization of samples, which are discussed in detail in a complementary manuscript [1]. Benchmarking efforts with more diagnosed DIII-D experiments are underway to further refine the SMITER and SIERRA models for DiMES. Future use of these tools will enable researchers to precisely target heat flux exposure conditions in DIII-D to test, but not exceed, the thermomechanical limitations of novel plasma-facing materials.

Reduction in RF sheath rectification with insulating antenna enclosure walls

Abstract Radiofrequency (RF) sheath rectification is one of the most prominent deleterious effects associated with ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating in fusion plasmas. RF sheaths and associated effects, such as impurity generation and convective cell generation, need to be mitigated to ensure that ICRF is a viable option for heating in future fusion devices. Experiments were performed on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA to explore the effects of using electrically-insulating antenna enclosures on RF rectified sheaths. Three different enclosure side-wall materials were used, including copper, MACOR (electrically insulating), and MACOR over copper. In the case of the MACOR–copper side walls, the non-conductive MACOR material was exposed to the bulk plasma but a layer of copper was added below to allow for image currents to flow. All three of the experiments had similar plasma density, temperature, and background magnetic field. In the case of the copper enclosure, RF rectified potentials, many times the local electron temperature, and associated formation of convective cells were observed and reported Martin M. et al (2017 Phys. Rev. Lett. 119 205002). In the experiments with MACOR and MACOR–copper enclosures, RF rectification was significantly reduced. Additionally, these latter two experiments showed no evidence of convective cell formation. Although the results from the MACOR experiment are reminiscent of the results obtained in ASDEX-U with a three-strap antenna optimized to reduce image currents on the antenna limiters Bobkov V. et al (2016 Nucl. Fusion 56 084001), the MACOR–copper experiment seems to suggest that insulating plasma facing materials have at least an equally strong impact on reducing potential rectification.

Mechanisms behind impurity spreading in a channeled, long-leg divertor configuration

One suggested benefit of long-leg, tightly baffled divertor configurations, a common feature included in the designs of many next-generation fusion devices, is access to a delocalized “spread” of impurity radiation along the leg, allowing for a substantial radiation region while maintaining both sufficient distance from the core to prevent pollution of the plasma fuel and avoiding local overheating of the plasma-facing materials. However, it is unclear whether this increased connection length and divertor volume afforded by the long-leg configuration is compatible with impurity transport, and whether it will enable this desired impurity radiation spread at all. Here, the SOLPS 4.3 code is used to assess the distribution of nitrogen and neon impurity radiation in a long-leg, tightly baffled divertor geometry. Further, there is a strong correspondence between the distribution of impurity radiation in the long leg and impurity recycling on the divertor side walls with both the nitrogen simulation set and the neon simulation set, suggesting that impurity spreading along these long legs is due to the interplay between the cross-field transport and associated neutralization of the impurity on the material surfaces.

How turbulence spreading improves power handling in quiescent high confinement fusion plasmas

Viable magnetic fusion devices necessitate combining good confinement with effective power flux handling. A major concern for ITER, and devices beyond, is the divertor heat load width, which sets peak boundary heat loads on the plasma-facing materials. Current estimates of the heat flux width are narrow for future reactors. Here, we demonstrate how pedestal turbulence can expand into, or entrain, the stable scrape-off-layer and so broaden the heat flux width beyond these neoclassical predictions. Employing combined theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches, we focus on quiescent high confinement discharges on the DIII-D tokamak, but the results are of broader significance. Our findings uncover common trends in the edge turbulence intensity flux, the pressure perturbation skewness, and the turbulence mixing length, which together determine the heat flux width. This research demonstrates the physics of scrape-off-layer broadening by turbulence and highlights the promise of a turbulent pedestal for successful core-edge integration in ITER and future fusion devices.

Investigation of interfacial strength in nacre-mimicking tungsten heavy alloys for nuclear fusion applications

Abstract Tungsten heavy alloys have been proposed as plasma facing material components in nuclear fusion reactors and require experimental investigation in their confirmation. For this purpose, a 90W–7Ni–3Fe alloy has been selected and microstructurally manipulated to present a multiphase brick-and-mortar structure of W-phase ‘bricks’ surrounded by a ductile ‘mortar’. This work draws inspiration from nature to artificially imitate the extraordinary combination of strength and stiffness exhibited by mollusks and produce a nacre-mimicking metal matrix composite capable of withstanding the extremely hostile environment of the reactor interior and maintaining structural integrity. The underlying mechanisms behind this integrity have been probed through high-resolution structural and chemical characterization techniques and have revealed chemically diffuse phase boundaries exhibiting unexpected lattice coherency. These features have been attributed to an increase in the energy required for interfacial decohesion in these systems and the simultaneous expression of high strength and toughness in tungsten heavy alloys.

Microstructural Transitions during Powder Metallurgical Processing of Solute Stabilized Nanostructured Tungsten Alloys

Exploiting grain boundary engineering in the design of alloys for extreme environments provides a promising pathway for enhancing performance relative to coarse-grained counterparts. Due to its attractive properties as a plasma facing material for fusion devices, tungsten presents an opportunity to exploit this approach in addressing the significant materials challenges imposed by the fusion environment. Here, we employ a ternary alloy design approach for stabilizing W against recrystallization and grain growth while simultaneously enhancing its manufacturability through powder metallurgical processing. Mechanical alloying and grain refinement in W-10 at.% Ti-(10,20) at.% Cr alloys are accomplished through high-energy ball milling with transitions in the microstructure mapped as a function of milling time. We demonstrate the multi-modal nature of the resulting nanocrystalline grain structure and its stability up to 1300 °C with the coarser grain size population correlated to transitions in crystallographic texture that result from the preferred slip systems in BCC W. Field-assisted sintering is employed to consolidate the alloy powders into bulk samples, which, due to the deliberately designed compositional features, are shown to retain ultrafine grain structures despite the presence of minor carbides formed during sintering due to carbon impurities in the ball-milled powders.

Quantitative assessment of Ni + and He + ion irradiation damage in a tungsten heavy alloy under the simulated nuclear fusion environment

A 90W-7Ni-3Fe (wt.%) tungsten heavy alloy has been sequentially Ni + and He + ion irradiated at 700 °C to simulate the high temperature irradiation environment of a fusion reactor interior. W/Ni–Fe-W dual-phase alloys have been proposed to serve as plasma facing materials and require detailed investigation of their behavior under fusion relevant conditions to assess their overall applicability. To evaluate material performance under five years of simulated fusion reactor service, microstructural characterization of the nanoscale defect distribution has been performed on both constituent phases, revealing peak swelling in the W phase of approximately 0.03%. The γ-phase (Ni–Fe-W) is found to swell approximately 0.68% under the same irradiation conditions, indicating significant cavity formation and growth. Additionally, a novel multi-projection imaging approach has been applied to determine the extent of damage segregation along the dual-phase W-to-γ interface and exposes that these interfaces act as sink sites for the accumulation of cavities. Interphase boundaries are noted to possess an 11.8% areal coverage of defects along the boundary plane, primarily on the γ-phase side of the boundary. The accumulation of cavities at these interphase boundaries is anticipated to adversely affect overall material toughness, and this work reveals a pressing need for mechanical property testing of irradiated W–Ni-Fe dual-phase alloys.

Qualification and Commissioning of Helium Flow Loop Experiment for Blanket Design Measurements

Sufficient cooling of plasma-facing materials remains an outstanding challenge in the design of fusion reactor blankets in commercial power demonstration plants. Due to its chemical inertness and low neutron interaction cross section, pressurized helium is a candidate coolant fluid for such systems; however, helium has a small thermal mass compared to liquid coolants, potentially reducing heat removal performance. To address this need, a number of heat transfer enhancements have been proposed to improve the cooling efficiency of such components, thereby decreasing pumping power needs and improving overall plant efficiency. Toward this end, a helium flow loop experiment (HFLE) has been designed and commissioned to test advanced passive heat transfer enhancements in unit-cell test sections, providing necessary data for model validation and subsequent system design. The HFLE is designed to provide flow of pressurized (up to 4 MPa) helium at flow rates up to 80 g/s, enabling heat transfer and pressure drop measurements in test pieces at Reynolds numbers in excess of 180 000. To explore the effects of novel and complex heat transfer enhancements, test sections are produced via additive manufacturing, providing geometries not typically obtainable by conventional machining. Here in this work, we present results from HFLE commissioning and the initial thermal-hydraulic tests of an additively manufactured rifled-rib test section. Results are compared to smooth pipe correlations, and plans are described for future HFLE measurements. These preliminary experiments indicate the utility of the HFLE for heat transfer enhancement testing and simulation validation activities.
