Objective: design an experiment addressed to the solution

  • f the power exhaust issues in view of DEMO. This derives

from the need to develop integrated, controllable exhaust solutions for DEMO including plasma, PFCs, control diagnostics and actuators, using experiments, theory and modelling, so as to mitigate the risk that conventional divertor might not be suitable for DEMO.

These AC/DC converters are four quadrants, thyristor based 12 pulses with current circulating and sequential control to reduce the reactive power, except IC5 and IC6 PSs that are IGCT based to be fast enough to control the vertical position of plasma The ENEA Research Centre of Frascati is a candidate site for DTT. It has been foreseen an high voltage connection at 400 kV by an intermediate electric substation 400kV/150kV (whose location is not still defined) and two underground electric cables up to the electric substation 150kV/36kV of ENEA Research Centre of Frascati. The electric characteristics of the power grid are not still available because it is ongoing a contract with TERNA for the definition of connection characteristics and costs.

Neutronics calculations show that without any additional shield (considering only VV, FW and front casing) the TF coil nuclear heating density on the first inboard turn is 3.77 mW/cm3. With proper shielding design (5 cm inboard), the total nuclear loads

  • n the TF coil would be 5-10 kW. By increasing the shielding

thickness and improving VV design and/or by slighting reducing the operational density, this figure could be reduced to 2-3 kW.

The main objective of the DTT project is to test several divertor design and configurations, so the concept of the machine could change from the standard single null (SN) plasmas to alternative configurations like X Divertor (XD) Snow Flake Divertor (SFD). Furthermore the design of VV, ports and RH devices should take into account application and testing of a Liquid Metal Divertor.

  • This DTT facility would be fully dedicated to the power exhaust problem.
  • The different schedules of EUROfusion and Italian Government made the

management of this WP complicated and sometimes awkward: the positive attitude of various EUROfusion bodies was very helpful.

  • The EFSI decision on Italian proposal for DTT funding is expected by Dec.

2015 (delays due to the Greek debt issues and the immigration problem): technical and administrative staff of the Italian Government started contacts with EIB to set up a financial plan in case of approval.

  • The DTT assessment is expected in early 2016, based on the guidelines

provided by the EU PEX AHG Phase II and the activities carried out by WPDTT1.

  • Revision of the DTT project proposal is planned to take into account the

indications of the DTT assessment and the latest experimental results.
