Abstract

After a one year shutdown devoted to the installation of Tore Supra new components (CIEL project) and the associated diagnostics, the first experimental campaign is mainly dedicated to the qualification of these high heat flux components and the general commissioning of the machine. Because of the delay of delivery of the high flux components (so-called fingers) and in order to enable the qualification of CIEL main components, a start version of the Tore Supra/CIEL Toroidal Pump Limiter (TPL) has been designed and manufactured.
