    Notes: Some diagnostic components in ITER will be subject to high levels of radiation (neutrons and gammas) and changes in their physical properties can result. During the ITER EDA an extensive range of tests on relevant materials, e.g., window materials, metals, and insulators, have been carried out and the changes in their physical properties have been measured. The effects examined include radiation induced electrical damage (RIED) and radiation induced conductivity (RIC) in potential insulators; radiation induced absorption and radio luminescence in potential optical materials; and changes to the reflectivity and surface properties of bulk metal mirrors. The results give a database of information which is of use to the designers of ITER diagnostic systems. Recent and planned work is concentrating on the testing of diagnostic prototypes in relevant radiation fields. The results obtained thus far will be summarized and the planned work outlined. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Two natural diamond detectors (NDDs) operating at room temperature were used for Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) deuterium–tritium (DT) neutron spectra measurements at different points around the tritium target and for different deuteron beam energies. Energy resolution of both NDDs were measured, with values 1.95% and 2.8%. Due to the higher energy resolution of one of the two NDDs studied it was possible to measure the shape of the DT neutron energy distribution and its broadening due to deuteron scattering inside the target. The influence of pulse pileup on the energy resolution of the combined system (NDD+electronics) at count rates up to 3.8×105 counts/s was investigated. A 3.58% energy resolution for the spectrometric system based on NDD and a 0.25 μs shaping time amplifier has been measured at a count rate of 5.7×105 counts/s. It is shown that special development of a fast pulse signal processor is necessary for NDD based spectrometry at count rates of approximately 106 counts/s. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We designed the radial neutron spectrometer using a new type DT neutron spectrometer base on a recoil proton counter-telescope technique aiming ion temperature measurement for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The neutron spectrometer will be installed on the well collimated neutron beam line. A large area recoil proton emitter is placed parallel to the incident neutron beam and microchannel collimating plates are inserted between the radiator and the recoil proton detectors away from the neutron beam in order to limit the scattering angle of protons to the proton detectors. Here a very thin polyethylene film and a silicon surface barrier detector are employed as the radiator and proton detector, respectively. The energy resolution and detection efficiency are estimated to be 2.5% and 1×10−5 counts neutron−1 m2, respectively, for the DT neutron through Monte Carlo calculations. Five units of the spectrometers will be installed just outside the biological shield, will include a fan array using penetrations inside the bioshield and a precollimator in the horizontal port. The lifetime of the proton detectors is estimated to be about one year in the basic performance phase of ITER by neutron transport calculations using the Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport code (MCNP). © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron diagnostics will play a prominent role in the control and evaluation of thermonuclear plasmas in ignition device to test engineering concepts (ITER). As in present D-T experiments, measurements of neutron yield and of fusion power and power density are essential. In addition, the spectral width of the 14.1-MeV t(d,n)α neutron emission should be a reliable indicator of ion temperature in an ignited plasma. More detailed measurements of the neutron spectrum may allow determination of the densities of tritium, deuterium, and confined alpha particles. Although the central fusion power density in ITER will be comparable to the maximum values obtainable in TFTR and JET, neutron flux on the first wall will be ten times higher, and the neutron yield per discharge will be about five orders of magnitude greater than previously experienced. The thermal and radiation shielding necessary to protect the ITER superconducting coils from the intense flux at the first wall will restrict diagnostic access for neutron cameras and spectrometers, complicate the design of material activation systems, and limit the applicability of conventional calibration techniques for neutron source strength monitors. These considerations, together with unprecedented reliability requirements and the need for full remote handling of many components, pose demanding challenges for the design of the ITER neutron diagnostic systems. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Since 1996, the remote participation in JT-60 experiments has been successfully conducted in collaboration with JAERI, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The remote analysis system is a computer complex consisting of an analysis server and a data server for access to JT-60 data. Collaborators of the remote participation can analyze JT-60 data by using this system through the Internet. For the remote diagnostic system, an X Window control program has been customized to communicate via the overseas line using a UNIX workstation at the remote site and one in the JT-60 control room. It has a feature of real-time remote control of diagnostic equipment and remote access to CAMAC data. Both systems are used together with the ISDN-based video-conferencing system for real-time communication between the remote laboratory and the JT-60 control room. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We are designing microfission chambers, which are pencil size gas counters with fissile material inside, to be installed in the vacuum vessel as neutron flux monitors for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). We computed the neutron and gamma flux around the shielding blanket by a two-dimensional neutron calculation, in order to find suitable locations for microfission chambers. We found that the 238U microfission chambers are not suitable because the detection efficiency will increase up to 50% during the ITER lifetime by breeding 239U. We propose to install 235U microfission chambers on the front side of the back plate in the gap between adjacent blanket modules and behind the blankets at ten poloidal locations. One chamber will be installed in the divertor cassette, just under the dome. Employing both the pulse counting mode and Campbelling mode in the electronics, we can accomplish the ITER requirement of 107 dynamic range, with 1 ms temporal resolution, and eliminate the effect of gamma rays. An in-vessel neutron monitor will be affected by changes of the detection efficiency due to the change in the plasma position and neutron source profile. Here we demonstrate by neutron Monte Carlo calculation with three-dimensional modeling that we avoid those detection efficiency changes by installing microfission chambers at several poloidal locations inside the vacuum vessel. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron cameras with horizontal and vertical views have been designed for ITER, based on systems used on JET and TFTR. The cameras consist of fan-shaped arrays of collimated flight tubes, with suitably chosen detectors situated outside the biological shield. The sight lines view the ITER plasma through slots in the shield blanket and penetrate the vacuum vessel, cryostat, and biological shield through stainless steel windows. This article analyzes the expected performance of several neutron camera arrangements for ITER. In addition to the reference designs, we examine proposed compact cameras, in which neutron fluxes are inferred from 16N decay gammas in dedicated flowing water loops, and conventional cameras with fewer sight lines and more limited fields of view than in the reference designs. It is shown that the spatial sampling provided by the reference designs is sufficient to satisfy target measurement requirements and that some reduction in field of view may be permissible. The accuracy of measurements with 16N-based compact cameras is not yet established, and they fail to satisfy requirements for parameter range and time resolution by large margins. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The divertor impurity monitoring system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor has been designed. The main functions of this system are to identify impurity species and to measure the two-dimensional distributions of the particle influxes in the divertor plasmas. The wavelength range is 200–1000 nm. The viewing fans are realized by molybdenum mirrors located in the divertor cassette. With additional viewing fans seeing through the gap between the divertor cassettes, the region approximately from the divertor leg to the x point will be observed. The light from the divertor region passes through the quartz windows on the divertor port plug and the cryostat, and goes through the dog-leg optics in the biological shield. Three different type of spectrometers: (i) survey spectrometers for impurity species monitoring, (ii) filter spectrometers for the particle influx measurement with the spatial resolution of 10 mm and the time resolution of 1 ms, and (iii) high dispersion spectrometers for high resolution wavelength measurements are designed. These spectrometers are installed just behind the biological shield (for λ〈450 nm) to prevent the transmission loss in fiber and in the diagnostic room (for λ≥450 nm) from the point of view of accessibility and flexibility. The optics have been optimized by a ray trace analysis. As a result, 10–15 mm spatial resolution will be achieved in all regions of the divertor. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A prototype of a new mechanical sensor for steady-state magnetic field has been manufactured and tested which consists of a sensing coil and a load cell. The mechanical force sensor is a new type of magnetic sensor feasible for frequencies smaller than 0.1 Hz and employs the measurement of steady-state electromagnetic force. The sensor has been examined, and the following results were obtained. (1) A signal proportionality to simulated force was obtained in the load cell tests. (2) Reproducible signal drift concerning the temperature was obtained over the range of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor environment. (3) Signal proportionality to the magnetic field was obtained in the steady-state magnetic field measurement tests. (4) The significant increase of load cell linearity error was not observed after irradiation of 7.2×106 Gy. These results indicate that the mechanical sensor will provide the practical feasibility in the long time magnetic field measurement. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
