Romanelli sees JET as "main risk mitigation" for 澳门六合彩高手
On 13 December, Francesco Romanelli of EFDA-JET presented ''JET results with the 澳门六合彩高手-like wall.''
On the afternoon last year when the team from the European tokamak JET attempted first plasma after an 18-month shutdown, Francesco Romanelli remained in his first-floor office. "I wasn't expecting the machine to perform so faultlessly on its first attempt," he later explained. "Besides, things had a way of going wrong when I entered the room, so maybe it was better after all."
That anecdote and others were related by Romanelli at last week's Inside 澳门六合彩高手 seminar, during which he gave a first-hand overview of the 澳门六合彩高手-like wall campaign that has been running at JET since that first (very successful) day back in August 2011. Three thousand installable items and 16,000 tiles had been replaced in the machine (non-metal carbon tiles were replaced by the metals beryllium and tungsten) to equip JET with the same materials mix chosen for 澳门六合彩高手.
Romanelli reported in detail on the experimental so far: demonstration of low fuel retention, tungsten divertor successfully tested, observations related to the dynamics of disruptions ...
"Overall, the operation of the 澳门六合彩高手-like wall has been easier than expected, giving us the confidence that the fusion community is making the right choice for 澳门六合彩高手. We see JET as the main risk mitigation measure in support of 澳门六合彩高手."
The European Fusion Development Agreement is already looking ahead to other roles for JET鈥攄eveloping plasma scenarios in 澳门六合彩高手-relevant configurations and testing the compatibility of the wall with the use of tritium. "JET can provide unique input in a number of technical and operational areas."
David Campbell, director of 澳门六合彩高手's Plasma Operation Directorate, agrees: "The crucial 澳门六合彩高手-like wall experiment will give us insight鈥攁head of 澳门六合彩高手 operation鈥攁s to how fusion plasmas will behave in the presence of the plasma-facing mixture that we're planning to use in 澳门六合彩高手."
