Abstract :
In JT-60U, the modification to a W-shaped pumped divertor will be completed in May 1997, aiming to realize sufficient reduction in heat flux to the targets and good H-mode confinement simultaneously. W-shaped geometry is optimized not only for forming radiative divertor plasmas and reducing the back flow of neutral particles but also for allowing various experimental configurations. Toroidally and poloidally segmented divertor plates, dome and baffles are arranged in a W-shaped poloidal configuration. The pumping speed can be changed during a shot by variable shutter valves in the three pumping ports under the outer baffle. The net throughput is enough for particle control in the steady radiative operations with high power NBI heating. Carbon fiber composite (CFC) tiles are used for the divertor targets and the divertor throat where large heat flux is expected. Gaps between two adjacent segments are carefully sealed to suppress the leak of neutral gas from the exhaust duct below the divertor and baffles. The strength of the whole structure is confirmed by an electromagnetic force analysis and structural analysis carried out for disruptions of 3 MA discharges with a halo current.
