Introduction of ITER Port plug and Diagnostics Integration 17 April 2015Damao Yao
ITER Diagnostics • Although its scale and expected performance is close to that required for a commercial reactor, ITER must be considered as an experiment and as such has uncertainties in many aspects of its plasma physics performance. • Consequently, a major goal of the ITER Project is to improve the understanding of reactor-grade tokamak plasmas and their effect on the machine hardware • To accomplish this mission, the Project from the start has devoted significant effort in designing and facilitating diagnostic access and compatibility with the fusion plasma. • In total, approximately 50 different diagnostic systems are in preparation to accomplish this. • These are meant to not only understand the performance of the ITER plasma, but to also optimize and to control it.

Divertor, Equatorial & Upper Port Diagnostics Diagnostics are everywhere!
EquatorialPort Plug Diagnosticsapproximately 30 systemsin 6 port plugs
Upper Port Plug Diagnosticsapproximately 18 systems in 12 port plugs
Equatorial Port Plugs Structure Radial Drawers • All diagnostics interface with all others • Lids have structural problem • Doesn’t mitigate disruptions • BSM focuses load towards front of EPP structure • Assembly complicated in a RH environment EPP 2006 in ITER_D_23G32M
