Design Analysis and Manufacturing Studies for ITER In-Vessel Coils
Authors: M. Kalish, et. al.
Abstract:
ITER is incorporating two types of In Vessel Coils
(IVCs): ELM Coils to mitigate Edge Localized Modes and VS
Coils to provide Vertical Stabilization of the plasma. Strong
coupling with the plasma is required so that the ELM and VS
Coils can meet their performance requirements. Accordingly,
the IVCs are in close proximity to the plasma, mounted just
behind the Blanket Shield Modules. This location results in a
radiation and temperature environment that is severe
necessitating new solutions for material selection as well as
challenging analysis and design solutions. Fitting the coil systems
in between the blanket shield modules and the vacuum vessel
leads to difficult integration with diagnostic cabling and cooling
water manifolds.
