  6. NSTXU Device • The NSTX device is exploring a novel structure for the magnetic field used to contain the hot ionized gas, called “plasma”, needed to tap this source of fusion energy.  • Mission of the NSTX is to establish the potential of the ST configuration as a means of achieving practical fusion energy. • Not a steady state machine. Pulse length < 6 sec. • Design rep rate <40 minute • History: • Original project completed 1999 • First beamline added 2000. • Upgrade project CD-0 mission need Feb 2009 • CD-1 Apr 2010 • CD-2 Dec 2010 • CD-3 Dec 2011

  14. NSTX Upgrade Deliverables • Double field and current Center Stack (CS) Upgrade. • Design, build and install new CS assembly including; • new toroidal field (TF) hub assembly, • new TF flag assemblies, • new ceramic break, • new inner TF bundle, • new ohmic heating coil, • new plasma facing component (PFC) tiles, • new poloidal field (PF) 1a, b & c coils • Analyze and upgrade components supports • Power, controls, water, services • Coil protection system This represented a major modification to an existing fusion device

  15. NSTX Upgrade Deliverables 2) Double neutral beam power & more tangential injection 2nd Neutral Beam-line (NBL). • Decontaminate and prepare a TFTR neutral beam-line (NBL) for installation on NSTX. • Evaluate and refurbish internal components as necessary (cryogenic panels, beam dumps, bending magnets, beam scrapers, calorimeter, etc.). • Relocate the NBL and • Provide a second set of beam-line services (e.g., power, water, vacuum, cryogenics, etc.).

  17. CD-4 milestone completion criteria Defined in section 2.2.2 of the Project Execution Plan (PEP) 2.2.2.2 Demonstrated Performance The major milestone marking the transition from a fabrication project to an operating facility is the first plasma milestone (CD-4). First plasma is defined as an ohmically heated discharge > 50 kA at a toroidal magnetic field of > 1 kG. The operations phase will resume upon completion of the first plasma milestone. The installation of the second neutral beam on NSTX shall be considered complete at the stage where each item below has been demonstrated: Beamline water, vacuum, cryogenics, and feedstock gas services have been attached to the beamline; A Torus Isolation Valve and duct interconnects the NSTX vacuum vessel and the neutral beamline; Local Control Centers have been powered on to monitor power supply status, and; Project will be verified as complete when a 40,000 electron-volt beam has been produced and injected into the armor for >.050 seconds
