Abstract The JET 2019–2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years concerted engineering work, including ITER-like wall (ILW: Be W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully available, a major neutral beam injection upgrade providing record power 2019–2020, tested technical procedural preparation for safe operation with tritium. Research along three complementary axes yielded wealth new results. Firstly, plasma delivered scenarios...
Abstract In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and D–T fuel an ITER-like Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997, represented the culmination of a series enhancements—new fusion diagnostics, new injection capabilities, refurbishment plant, increased auxiliary heating, in-vessel calibration 14 MeV neutron yield monitors—as well as significant advances plasma theory modelling community. DTE2 was complemented by sequence isotope...
The 2014–2016 JET results are reviewed in the light of their significance for optimising ITER research plan active and non-active operation. More than 60 h plasma operation with first wall materials successfully took place since its installation 2011. New multi-machine scaling type I-ELM divertor energy flux density to is supported by principle modelling. relevant disruption experiments modelling reported a set three mitigation valves mimicking setup. Insights L–H power threshold Deuterium...
Abstract For the past several years, JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des . 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments D, H and T, leading up to 2020 first with 50%/50% D–T mixtures since 1997 ever plasmas ITER mix of plasma-facing component materials. this purpose, concerted physics technology was launched view prepare campaign (DTE2). This paper addresses key elements developed by directly contributing preparation. intense preparation...
The objective of thermonuclear fusion consists producing electricity from the coalescence light nuclei in high temperature plasmas. most promising route to envisages confinement such plasmas with magnetic fields, whose studied configuration is tokamak. Disruptions are catastrophic collapses affecting all tokamak devices and one main potential showstoppers on a commercial reactor. In this work we report how, deploying innovative analysis methods thousands JET experiments covering isotopic...
A fundamental question crucial to surface-enhanced spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SESORS) imaging and implementing it in a clinical setting for vivo diagnostic purposes is whether SESORS image can be used determine the exact location of an object within tissue? To address this question, multiple experimental factors pertaining optical setup experiments using in-house-built point-collection-based (SORS) system were investigated those critical three-dimensional (3D) positioning...
The mass transfer of ozone and oxygen into water through non-porous membranes was studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling fundamental convection-diffusion theory. Ozone is a gaseous oxidant that widely applied in drinking treatment. Membrane contactors are an alternative to conventional gas dispersion methods for injection mixtures water. Few studies have explored approaches membrane based transport. In this investigation, quantitative concentration profiles across single...
A model for the prediction of depth two 'flavours' surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active nanotags embedded within porcine tissue is demonstrated using ratiometric analysis. Using a handheld spatially offset (SORS) instrument, SESORS signals could be detected from at depths down to 48 mm first time backscattering SORS geometry.
Abstract JET, the world’s largest operating tokamak with unique Be/W wall and tritium handling capability, completed a Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) campaign in 2021 (Maggi et al 29th Fusion Energy Conf. ) following decade of preparatory experiments, dedicated enhancements, technical rehearsals training (Horton 2016 Eng. Des. 109–111 925). Operation raises significant technical, safety scientific challenges not encountered standard protium or deuterium operation. This contribution describes...
Accumulation of dust on the equipment for remotely handled (RH) operations was studied in JET with ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) during shutdown period following third ILW campaign. The topic is connected to licensing procedures ITER: need assess risks related external transfer beryllium and radioactive matter tritium activation products. Ten adhesive carbon pads were placed different locations robotic arm operated in-vessel 672 h. Also air samplers used RH operation smear tests boom performed...
This paper develops a global model based on non-local properties of fractional derivatives for fusion plasmas. The results confirm that transport in the largest device i.e. JET, is better predicted. expected to provide an insight proper kinetic description plasmas, and improve accuracy predictions.
