Abstract The paper reports the first demonstration of in situ laser-induced desorption — quadrupole mass spectrometry (LID-QMS) application on a large scale fusion device performed summer 2023. LID-QMS allows direct measurements fuel inventory plasma facing components without retrieving them from device. diagnostic desorbs retained gases by heating 3 mm diameter spot wall using 1 ms long laser pulse and detects QMS. Thus, it can measure gas content at any position accessible to laser....
Abstract An assessment of the tritium (T) inventory in plasma facing components (PFC) during JET T and deuterium-tritium (DT) operations is presented based on most comprehensive ex situ fuel retention data set PFCs from 2015-2016 ILW3 operating period presented. The global 4.19 × 10 23 D atoms, 0.19% injected fuel. inner divertor remains region highest (46.5%). at end calculated as 7.48 22 atoms informative for accountancy, clean-up efficacy waste liability assessments. accumulation rate...
