The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), presently in its Engineering Validation and Design Activities (EVEDA) phase under the frame of Broader Approach Agreement between Europe Japan, accomplished summer 2013, on schedule, EDA with release engineering design report IFMIF plant, which is here described. Many improvements from former phases are implemented, particularly a reduction beam losses operational costs thanks to superconducting accelerator concept, re-location...
The IFMIF-DONES Facility is a unique first-class scientific infrastructure whose construction foreseen in Granada, Spain, the coming years. Strong integration efforts are being made at current project phase aiming harmonizing ongoing design of different and complex Systems facility. consolidation Diagnostics Instrumentation, transversal across many them, key element this purpose. A top-down strategy proposed for systematic Review Requirement definition, putting emphasis one-of-a-kind...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) is an international project to study and qualify candidate materials for the construction of a future fusion reactor. One objectives IFMIF-Engineering Validation Engineering Design Activity Project build linear prototype accelerator (LIPAc) validate final IFMIF concept. LIPAc, which currently under in Rokkasho (Japan), will generate 9-MeV deuteron beam 125-mA current with 100% duty cycle. CIEMAT (Spain) charge providing RF power...
The construction of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is in progress order to demonstrate feasibility low energy section an deuteron accelerator up 9 MeV with a beam current 125 mA CW. next milestone project so-called Phase-B commissioning, and one missions acceleration proton 2.5 or 5.0 pulsed mode duty cycle 0.1% through RFQ. Most components subsystems necessary for were delivered by 2016 under responsibility Fusion Energy (F4E) as in-kind contributions several European...
A new beam diagnostic based on infrared thermography has been developed for the neutral injectors of stellarator TJ-II. highly anisotropic movable target intercepts at its entrance into stellarator. The thermal print is captured with a high resolution camera. images can be translated, appropriate analysis, power density patterns beam. system calibrated in situ two thermocouples adiabatically mounted target. two-dimensional distribution accurately characterized allowing optimization respect...
The Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac and 1.6 MW RF power system of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) facility in International Fusion Energy Research Center (IFERC) Rokkasho (Japan) has been installed conditioned. During assembly tuning process, RFQ cavity was protected with a temporary tent from potential deterioration performance caused by dust. vacuum improved through 100°C baking process cavity. high test 175 MHz systems up to 200 kW CW for each eight chains performed...
The eight-chain RF system and radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac were successfully integrated at the facility of Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc). We achieved an unprecedented high current deuteron beam up to 55 mA in pulse operation ($300~\mu \text{s}$ , 1 Hz). keys success (1) understanding reflected power from RFQ system, (2) tuning each chain individually, (3) intensive conditioning for holding stable RFQ, (4) optimizing loading compensation control. Interestingly,...
Design, development, manufacturing, and test activities of the RF power system (RFPS) for Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) were completed in Europe. Installation commissioning carried out at International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility-Engineering Validation Engineering Design Activities (IFMIF/EVEDA) site Rokkasho, Japan. Challenging requirements led to a number innovations during design development. Commissioning required major effort on calibration fine setting...
