3 Fuel Cycle What is it and Why is it Important? Fueling of fusion reactors is much more complicated than conventional power producing sources - Fuel is radioactive gas (Tritium) - Fuel burn fraction is low ( < few% is likely) --> significant fueling and exhaust flow rate - Exhaust contains additional species (He, hydrocarbons, H 2 0, etc.) - Exhaust impurities and fuel isotopes need to be separated - Fuel injection is non-trivial - Pumping technology is challenged by steady-state tritium - Compatibility with mitigation of transients is necessary - Fuel (Tritium) is bred in the reactor and has to be processed Without the fuel cycle the burning plasma will not persist 3
4 Fusion Fuel Cycle Challenges Steady-state Fuel Injection Pellet Fuel Formation Tritium Breeding Steady-state Exhaust Pumping Tritium Reprocessing Fuel Injection Fuel Injection Tritium Breeding Exhaust Pumping Pellet Fueling Pellet Formation Tritium Reprocessing & Separation Holistic Approach is Needed 4 4
5 How do you Fuel a Fusion Reactor Plasma? Gas Injection Neutral particle penetration is poor in a dense SOL plasma (opaque to neutrals) Pellet Injection Solid cryogenic pellet injection technology has matured to a level for implementation on ITER Physics is reasonably well understood and can be projected to DEMO CT Injection Attempted in small tokamaks, not mature enough to speculate on effectiveness in a reactor Other Concepts? Pure Tritium Extrusion Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium Pellets 5
6 Fuel Throughput (Pa-m 3 ) Fuel Throughput in Fusion Plasmas Progress and Needs DEMO ITER FNSF ITER Tore Supra JT60 JET ATF TFTR LHD TRIAM-1M DT *Requires recirculation ST DIII-D 1 Min 1 Hr 1 Day Plasma Duration (s) DT fuel throughput for ITER and beyond is well beyond what has been achieved in previous devices. Recirculation makes the fuel cycle much more complicated. 6
7 Fueling Burning Plasma with DT Recycling of neutrals is expected to be R ~ 0, high density operation makes neutrals opaque to entering the plasma. Fueling efficiency of pellets h f can be nearly 1 in small tokamaks using inner wall injection high for burning plasma less certain for stellarator Tritium burn fraction is the ratio of He production to T fuel input f B = G a /G in From plasma physics analysis of burning plasma conditions, with R=0, h f = 1, f B is anticipated to be ~2%.

10 B in Stellarator is Much Weaker than a Tokamak 4 3 W7-X j=0 B (T) 2 DIII-D r B and curvature drifts are weaker for stellarator geometry, thus ExB drift of pellet ablatant is expected to be weaker nonetheless it has been observed. (R. Sakamoto, Plasma Fus. Res. 2013)
11 Fueling Efficiency from Pellet Injection is Defined as Percent of the Pellet Mass that is Measured in the Plasma (Nucl. Fusion, 47 (2007) 1598) Data have been collected from the 5 different injection locations on DIII-D to examine the mass deposition process. The inner wall in particular the V+1 location to some extent indicate mass penetration deeper than expected from pellet ablation modeling without drifts taken into account. Fueling efficiency is higher with HFS injection 11

16 Pellet Fueling Efficiency in DIII-D M-mode Plasmas Shows Improvement with Penetration Depth Nucl. Fusion 47 (2007) 1598 Fueling Efficiency on DIII-D is higher with deeper penetration, but a clear difference with injection location is apparent.

21 ITER Inner Wall Guide Tubes Provided for HFS Pellet Fueling ITER HFS [S. Maruyama, IAEA2012] LFS Pellet Guide Tube at 3 Toroidal Locations for ELM Pacing Guide tubes to be installed behind blanket modules for HFS pellet injection Difficult to design inner wall fueling guide tubes without sharp bends that limits pellet speed 21
22 ITER HFS Guide Tubes not Optimal for Fueling Efficiency Complicated curved guide tubes will limit the intact pellet speed to <300 m/s, erosion and shallow penetration will limit the fueling efficiency. ~10% erosion is measured in lab pellet transport tests. Difficult to design inner wall guide tubes around existing infrastructure 22
23 Vertical HFS Injection with Straight Guide Tubes may Lead to More Efficient Fueling in a Burning Plasma EU DEMO 23
24 Vertical HFS Injection with Straight Guide Tubes may Lead to More Efficient Fueling in a Burning Plasma 24 The DEMO machine may need to be designed to provide straight (or nearly so) injection for optimal fueling. Injection needs to be as straight as possible for high speed and with suitable access through coils and blanket. Single stage gas guns can inject pellets at 1500 m/s, repeating 2-stage guns up to 2500 m/s. Curved guide tubes like in ITER will limit the intact pellet speed to < 300 m/s. Research needed on high speed pellets in slightly curved tubes. EU DEMO Frattolillo, Tokunaga (SOFT2016)

26 Dn e (10 20 m -3 ) Calculations of Pellet Penetration for DEMO Conditions Shows Penetration to the Pedestal Top EU DEMO (Te PED = 6 kev) Calculation of different pellet ablation perturbations for DEMO from VHFS at 1500 m/s. Increasing the speed to 2500 m/s (2-stage gun) is ~20% deeper penetration % 2500 m/s 15% 10% 0.2 5% r 26
27 Dn e (10 20 m -3 ) Calculations of Pellet Penetration for DEMO Conditions Shows Penetration to the Pedestal Top EU DEMO (Te PED = 6 kev) Calculation of different pellet ablation perturbations for DEMO from VHFS at 1500 m/s. Increasing the speed to 2500 m/s (2-stage gun) is ~20% deeper penetration. 300 m/s ITER speed pellets lead to very shallow penetration less than the pedestal top. Calculation of pellet mass drift shows deposition extends inward to r ~ 0.8 for 1000 m/s inner wall pellets (Pegourie EPS2016) % 2500 m/s r 15% 10% 300 m/s 10% 5% 27
28 Outline Magnetic Fusion Fuel Cycle Background Fueling Efficiency Data from Tokamaks Fueling of DEMO Burning Plasmas Anticipated Fueling Efficiency and Implications Summary 28
29 ELM Interaction on HFS Pellet Fueling Efficiency Remains an Open Question ELMs are triggered on DIII-D with HFS pellet injection, even with RMP ELM suppression. ELMs are triggered with HFS pellets during ELM pacing, but not larger ELMs than the triggered ELMs. HFS pellets do not trigger ELMs on AUG with RMP ELM suppression and density can be strongly increased (Valovic, et al., Nucl. Fus. 2016). What happens when pellet penetration is shallow, outside r=0.9 (top of pedestal) with or without ELM suppression? Difficult to mimic this scenario on present day tokamaks Pellets less than 1.5mm are difficult to transport intact to HFS Pedestal T e much less in smaller machines 29
30 h Fueling Efficiency with High Speed Pellets with Optimal Injection Geometry can Posssibly Exceed 50% DIII-D ITER DEMO Pedestal Edge Pellet Depth r Axis Extrapolation from present small tokamaks to ITER and DEMO is highly uncertain, but h is likely less in DEMO than ITER from more shallow penetration.
31 31 Fusion DEMO Pellet Fueling Needs are Significant f B = 2% or less implies significant fuel recirculation Each D,T fuel atom on average must recirculate ~50 times or more before fusing This implies 50 or more phase changes from plasma to gas to solid How much refrigeration power? D,T enthalpy change from 300K to solid is: 6000 J/mol = 0.03 ev per atom MeV per reaction is significantly more Nonetheless, at reactor fueling rates over 100 kw of refrigeration power needed
32 D-T Mixture Pellet Formation is Possible and has Been Demonstrated Solidifier Liquifier D2 T2 32
33 Fusion Exhaust Pumping Is Equally as Important as Fueling for a DEMO Function: Remove the exhaust gases from the plasma losses and burn byproducts. The torus vacuum pumping must maintain low divertor neutral pressure (~10 Pa) while removing helium ash that will be generated by the fusion burn. - Conductance from divertor to pumps must be high. Reactor requirements: - A Fusion Reactor will require reliable steady state pumping that can be controlled and maintained in a nuclear fusion environment. - It is likely that the pumping speeds and throughputs will be 2-5x higher than ITER, and with a much higher duty factor. Gaps: Tritium compatible pumping at fusion pressures and throughputs is a challenge 33
34 Fusion Exhaust Pumping Schemes Batch Cryopumps ITER Method T2 inventory, Deflagration limit, Thermal cycling, Valve cycling, He pumping Continuous Cryopump Snail pump prototype developed and tested by Foster - Mechanical scraper - Cryo separation - Helium compression for conventional pumping - Pellet formation concept tested Liquid Metal Pumps (KIT): Diffusion pump and liquid metal ring roughing pump - Needs separation of impurities and helium cryogenic? - Super permeable membrane separation?

36 Summary Significant additional R&D is needed in the fusion fuel cycle to make fusion viable for a DEMO A reactor must be designed from the beginning for optimal fueling and pumping efficiency High fueling efficiency > 50% can be achieved with suitable high speed HFS injection in a tokamak DEMO A stellarator DEMO would also need high speed pellets Its very useful to be planning ahead for the fueling and pumping needs beyond ITER 36
