D Whyte FESAC Presentation“The Challenges of PSI for ITER & Beyond” Nov 2008
Lack basic understanding and diagnosis of PSI processes in fusion devices → Uncertain extrapolation
Heat exhaust is primary design point for edge materials, since this Is directly related to fusion power density
Thermal efficiency .. high ambient T → Fundamentally different Physical Chemistry .. completely unexplored in fusion
devices Energy sustainment chasm to CTF & DEMO Rapid dissipation of plasma thermal energy poses major
challenges in any Demo consequences of large particulate removal on .. plasma .. & safety Tokamak edge plasmas feature extreme spatial gradients and
fluctuations levels, .. erosion prediction & control very difficult
It is hard to overstate the importance of ambient temperature for fuel control & T retention
30+ years of experience .. we should be worried/excited .. in particular the effects of having “hot walls”

In contrast to the rest of the world, a typical preference of US technology people has been
one step to high tech DEMO (reactor prototype) parallel R&D for materials and blankets (CTF)
Whose DEMO?

We have a great challenge to develop the needed technology!
ITER activity is a revealing as we observe the need for definition and integration in the design along with the need to move forward in building the machine!

We are good at developing issuesWe tend to be optimistic (we are in fusion after all) enjoy identifying issues and pondering problems look toward R&D programs

A realistic “fully funded” technology program, will involve a strong winnowing of choices for PFC materials and divertor technology simply because of the time to develop and prove specific robust components for a DEMO.
