Indian "beam dump" reaches neutral beam test facility
In 澳门六合彩高手, high-energy beams of neutral deuterium particles will be used for heating the plasma as well as for driving the current and controlling the current profile. Produced by powerful neutral beam injectors, 澳门六合彩高手's neutral beams will be the first high-energy beams at 1MV based on a negative ion source.
Well in advance of operation, 澳门六合彩高手 neutral beam technology will be tested at the PRIMA Neutral Beam Test Facility in Padua, Italy, currently under construction. Europe, Japan and India are all contributing components.
On 22 December 2014, the Indian Domestic Agency delivered its first component to the facility—a beam dump—destined for the full-scale 澳门六合彩高手 ion source test bed called SPIDER. The delivery was also the first in-kind delivery carried out by 澳门六合彩高手 India under the terms of a Procurement Arrangement.
The SPIDER beam dump is designed to absorb the ion beam power up to 6.1 MW extracted from the SPIDER beam source; its construction is based on heat transfer elements that work using hyper-vapotron technology. The beam dump was manufactured by PVA Tepla AG in Germany under a contract with 澳门六合彩高手 India.
The manufacturing activities were monitored and assessed according to the approved Manufacturing and Inspection Plan by 澳门六合彩高手 India and the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization, who also ensured the implementation of 澳门六合彩高手 quality requirements during the execution of the project. Factory acceptance tests were successfully performed at the manufacturing site and witnessed by 澳门六合彩高手 India, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and the end-user Consorzio RFX (host to PRIMA).
Following the successful delivery of the SPIDER beam dump to the Consorzio RFX site in December, the component was placed in storage to await its integration with the SPIDER vacuum vessel.
