  • The integrated engineering design concept of the upper limiter within the EU-DEMO LIMITER system
    Richiusa, M. I. ...
    The EU-DEMO first wall protection relies on a system of limiters. Although they are primarily designed for facing the energy released by a limited plasma during transients, their design should safely ... withstand a combination of loads relevant for in-vessel components (IVCs) during steady-state operation. They are not meant to breed tritium, nor to provide plasma stability. However, sitting in place of blanket portions, they should ensure an adequate shielding function to vacuum vessel and magnets while withstanding both their dead weight and the electro-mechanical loads arising from the interaction between current induced in the conductive structure and magnetic field. During plasma disruptions they will be subjected to halo currents flowing from/to the plasma and the grounded structures, whose effects must be added to the eddy current ones. Disruption-induced electromechanical loads are hence IVC design-driving, despite the uncertainties in both eddy and halo currents’ magnitude and distribution, which depend on IVC design, electrical connectivity, plasma temperature and halo width. The integrated design of the limiter is made of two actively water-cooled sub-components: the Plasma-Facing Wall (PFW) directly exposed to the plasma, and the Shielding Block (SB) devoted to hold the PFW while providing neutronic shielding. The PFW design is driven by disruptive heat loads. Disruption-induced electromagnetic loads are instead SB design drivers, meaning that the design details (i.e. geometry, electrical connections, attachments) affect the loads acting on it, which, in turn, are affected by the mechanical response of the structure.
