Comments on feasible testing program and potential limits of ITER parameters for TBM testing Presented at TBWG-11 Meeting Garching, Germany October 22, 2003 Purpose of Presentation This presentation has been prepared in response to a request from TBWG Chair, Dr. L. Giancarli, to summarize the experience gained during the last 20 years on how to plan useful blanket tests in the fusion environment. In particular: Blanket Testing Issues Engineering Scaling considerations for design of “Act-Alike” test articles Requirements on fusion testing device parameters Usefulness and LIMITATIONS of current ITER Design for blanket testing Note that there is considerable information available in literature based on scholarly and engineering research efforts in INTOR, FINESSE, ITER-CDA, ITER-EDA, VNS (IEA-HVPNS). See list of journal papers and reports. Key Points We Learned about the Blanket Test Program Blanket/First Wall has serious, yet unresolved feasibility issues. Non-fusion facilities can not fully resolve any of the critical issues for blankets or PFC’s There are critical issues for which no significant information can be obtained from testing in non-fusion facilities (examples include the identification and characterization of failure modes, effects and rates) The feasibility of Blanket/PFC Concepts can NOT be established prior to testing in fusion facilities The purpose of testing in fusion testing facilities such as ITER is to obtain data on the feasibility and performance limits of blanket concepts for DEMO and Reactors. Since these are the “first” tests in the “fusion environment,” they are aimed at investigating feasibility and performance limits of various concepts, configurations, material combinations, etc. They are NOT, and Can Not be, merely “Confirmation” Tests Key Points We Learned About the Blanket Test Program (cont’d) Since ITER testing parameters (e.g., wall load, surface heat flux, plasma duty cycle, etc.) are substantially below those of DEMO, SERIO
