Status of Vertical Neutron Camera Integration Albert Tsutskikh Anatoli Krasilnikov Yuri Kaschuck Denis Prosvirin SRC RF TRINITI 11 of April 2006
VNC Purposes • Collimated measurements of neutron source profile with spatial resolution along ITER major radius • Total neutron yield (fusion power) measurement • Optimization of the schemes of additional heating, including ICRH in particular
VNC Plasma Coverage Collimator lengths 1,4 – 1,6 m Diameters 30 mm Coverage from –0.7 to 0.7 ρ
Divertor Port #2 Arrangement Drawing Blanket module #18 Divertor cassette Neutron collimator block Detectors modules
MCNP – A General Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code • Program MCNP (Transport Methods GroupLos Alamos National Laboratory) • Version 4C • Cross-section library “endf601” (Evaluated Nuclear Data File)
MCNP Model of ITER Coils Intercoil structure Blanket module #18 with slot Collimator Block Diverter Cassette withblock part
Model of Source Source spatial distribution En=14.1 MeV
Calculation resultsfor U-238 FC, threshold – 1 MeV & NDD, threshold 7 MeV Signal – flux of nonscattared neutrons, background – flux of scattered neutrons
New Problem #1 From L. Bertalot Interface Divertor cassette – Rail (second part of collimator block)
New Problem #2 From L. Bertalot Need to verify if complete assembly fits inside the cask
New Problem #3 From L. Bertalot Fixed to the Cassette Body
New Problem #4 From L. Bertalot Integrates the Locking Pins Integrates the Rail
Conclusions • Lengths of collimators are enough for effective VNC operation. Correction coefficient should be applied for channel #1 & #10. • Integrated with divertor cassette Lower VNC is providing required collimation and plasma coverage for both (238U FC, NDD) discussing detectors. • Interface issues (integration with divertor cassette, interface with removable rail part and blanket module) could be solved during further design activity.
MUST BE SOLVED • Procedure of assembling and installations • Tools for installation • Mechanical prelifting construction and other modification divertor cassette • Alignment and calibration • Mechanical details of rail • Agreement of blanket module # 18 modification to provide VNC lines of site penetration • Interfaces with other port diagnostics • Cable connections and communications • Analysis of tomography possibilities with discussing RNC and VNC lines of sight
