2 Advanced Design and Analysis Activities Help Guide Fusion Research Breakdown of the Advanced Design Activities: NSO System Studies Studies of markets, customers, and the role of fusion in a sustainable global energy strategy; To make a case for fusion as a viable and desirable energy source in energy planning communities. National Fusion Power Plant Studies Program (ARIES).
3 Outline Mission and Organization Technical Approach Impact on R&D and Visions for the Program Bridge to Latest Developments in Other Scientific & Technological Disciplines Developing new ideas through continuity of Research
4 ARIES Research Bridges the Science and Energy Missions of the US Fusion Program Mission Statement: Perform advanced integrated design studies of of the the long-term fusion energy embodiments to to identify key key R&D directions and and provide visions for for the the program. Commercial fusion energy is is the the most most demanding of of the the program goals, and and it it provides the the toughest standard to to judge the the usefulness of ofprogram elements. Knowledge base base of of fusion power plants involves subtle combinations of of physics, technology, and and engineering. Extensive systems studies are are needed to to identify not not just just the the most most effective experiments for for the the moment, but but also also the the most most cost-effective routes to to the the evolution of of the the experimental, scientific and and technological program.
5 ARIES Program Identifies Key R&D Issues and Provides a Vision for the Program Progress in Plasma Physics: Macroscopic stability; Wave-particle interaction; Microturbulence & transport Plasma-material Interaction What has been achieved What to demonstrate Models & concepts Stimulus for new ideas What is important What is possible Experiments Theory Program ARIES Program ARIES studies have have influenced research priorities in in each each of of these these areas areas and and have have been been guided by by new new experimental trends and and theoretical concepts.
6 National ARIES Program Has Been Successful Because It Provides a Forum to Bring Fusion Scientists Together to Investigate Fusion Systems The team comprises key members from major fusion centers (universities, national laboratories, and industry). A typical team member spends 25% of his time on this activity. About 2/3 of resources is allocated to universities this year. Several students are supported. Decisions are made by consensus in order to obtain the best technical solution without institutional bias. Team is flexible and expert groups and advocates are brought in as needed to ensure the flow of the latest information from R&D program. As such, high-leverage issues are readily transferred back to the R&D program. Core members allow continuity of research. Workshop and Town meeting are held for direct discussion and dissemination of the results. Because we draw from expertise of the national program, we are unique in the world in the ability to provide a fully integrated analysis of power plant options including plasma physics, fusion technology, economics, safety, etc.

8 Outline Mission and Organization Technical Approach Impact on R&D and Visions for the Program Bridge to Latest Developments in Other Scientific & Technological Disciplines Developing new ideas through continuity of Research
9 ARIES Research Framework: Assessment Based on Attractiveness & Feasibility Energy Mission Science Mission Periodic Input from Energy Industry Goals and Requirements Scientific & Technical Achievements Projections and Design Options Evaluation Based on Customer Attributes Attractiveness Characterization of Critical Issues Feasibility No: Redesign Balanced Assessment of Attractiveness & Feasibility Yes R&D Needs and Development Plan
10 Conceptual Design of Magnetic Fusion Power Systems Are Developed Based on a Reasonable Extrapolation of Physics & Technology Plasma regimes of operation are optimized based on latest experimental achievements and theoretical predictions. Engineering system design is based on evolution of presentday technologies, i.e., they should be available at least in small samples now. Only learning-curve cost credits are assumed in costing the system components.
11 ARIES Program Performs Detailed Integrated Analysis of High-Leverage Systems Detailed and in-depth analysis is necessary to make scientific progress and impact the R&D program: Invoke physics and engineering constraints which are not in present-day experiments (e.g., simultaneous high power and high particle flux to divertor) Interaction and trade-off among plasma parameters (MHD β limit, heating & current-drive, divertor, transport); Interfaces between fusion plasma and other components (e.g., restriction on plasma elongation by location of stabilizer, and triangularity by inboard divertor slot) In many areas models and tools necessary to analyze fusion systems are developed.
12 Outline Mission and Organization Technical Approach Impact on R&D and Visions for the Program Bridge to Latest Developments in Other Scientific & Technological Disciplines Developing new ideas through continuity of Research
13 The ARIES Team Has Examined Several Magnetic Fusion Concept as Power Plants in the Past 14 Years TITAN reversed-field pinch (1988) ARIES-I first-stability tokamak (1990) ARIES-III D- 3 He-fueled tokamak (1991) ARIES-II and -IV second-stability tokamaks (1992) Pulsar pulsed-plasma tokamak (1993) SPPS stellarator (1994) Starlite study (1995) (goals & technical requirements for power plants & Demo) ARIES-RS reversed-shear tokamak (1996) ARIES-ST spherical torus (1999) Fusion neutron source study (2000) ARIES-AT advanced technology and advanced tokamak (2000) ARIES-IFE assessment of IFE chambers (To be completed in 2003) ARIES Compact Stellarator Study (Started in 2003)
14 Advanced Design Program Has Had A Major Impact on Tokamak Research Major Physics Results Impact on the Program Introduced the trade-off between plasma β and bootstrap current. Showed that high-field magnets can be utilized to compensate for low β. 2nd Stability regime was to reduce the currentdrive power not increased β. Pulsed-tokamaks the plasma β is limited by ohmic profile constraint, (2) physics of pulsed and steady-state tokamaks are essentially the same; (3) steady-state out performs pulsed operation because of technological constraints. Developed reversed-shear equilibria appropriate to power plants. It included a self-consistent divertor/plasma edge conditions with acceptable impact on ideal MHD, current drive, and power balance. Initiation of Advanced Tokamak Research. KSTAR construction and TPX experiment design were influenced significantly. Major theoretical and experimental activities on advanced tokamaks ARIES-RS and ARIES-AT are the present focus of advanced tokamak research (DIII-D, C-Mod, FIRE). Recognition at Snowmass that any burning plasma experiments must have advanced tokamak capability.
15 Tokamak Research Has Been Influenced by the ARIES Program Current focus of tokamak research Conventional high-β tokamaks (Pulsed operation) βa/s ( Plasma β) Advanced tokamak (Balanced bootstrap) 2nd Stability high-β tokamaks (Too much bootstrap) PU: Pulsed Operation SS: 2nd Stability FS: 1st Stability, steady-state RS: Reversed-shear β p /A ( Bootstrap current fraction)
16 Advanced Design Program Has Had A Major Impact on Alternative Concept Research Major Scientific Results Impact on the Program Spherical Torus: Developed the first selfconsistent stability and current-drive calculations of high-β, high bootstrap current ST equilibria. Showed that high plasma elongation (κ = 3) is necessary. Showed resistive ST center-posts can be designed to operate in power-plant conditions. NSTX is influenced by ARIES-ST The next step in ST program, DTST, uses ARIES-ST as the target. Stellarator: Invented a new stellarator magnetic configuration to address the issue of large size. Reversed-Field Pinch: Identified the need to operate with a highly radiative core, poloidal divertors, and an efficient current drive system so that a compact RFP can be realized. Initiated a large interest in compact stellarator research in US. Experiments on ZT-40 with a highly radiative core and helicity-injection current-drive. ZT-P device was built to study poloidal divertors for RFPS; Design and experimental program on ZT-H were modified to address these issues.
17 The ARIES-ST Study Has Identified Key Directions for Spherical Torus Research Substantial progress is made towards optimization of highperformance ST equilibria, providing guidance for physics research. Assessment: 1000-MWe ST power plants are comparable in size and cost to advanced tokamak power plants. Spherical Torus geometry offers unique design features such as single-piece maintenance. Modest size machines can produce significant fusion power, leading to low-cost development pathway for fusion.
18 Advanced Design Program Has Had A Major Impact on Fusion Technology Research Major Fusion Technology Results Impact on the Program Introduced SiC composites as a high-performance fusion material. Explored gas injection and impurity radiation to reduce heat load in the divertors. Innovative superconducting magnet designs using plates and a structural cap (later used in ITER). Demonstrated benefits of RF systems (especially fast waves) for current drive and the respective launchers (e.g., folded wave-guides). Introduction of advanced manufacturing techniques which reduce the unit costs of components drastically. High-efficiency blankets achieving coolant outlet temperature higher than structure temperature: ARIES-ST (ferritic steels) and ARIES-AT (SiC composites). Large world-wide research activity on SiC composites material. Experiments in linear plasma machine and later in large tokamaks. Current goals of magnet R&D program. Spurred interest in RF current drive experiments (e.g., fast-wave current drive in DIII-D in mid 90s). Application in next-generation experiments. Chosen as advanced concepts for European Power Plant Study and follow-on R&D.
