Applications of non-resonant RF forces for improvement of tokamak reactor performances, 1. Application of ponderomotive force

摘要

Applications of Radio Frequency to a tokamak divertor plasma for improvement of its reactor relevancy is studied and proposed. RF is applied to a divertor region of a tokamak by use of wave guide launchers on consideration of a reactor environment. Since the ponderomotive force is dependent on the charge to mass ratio of ions, various useful applications are considered. They cover some of the recent key issues in the development research toward nuclear fusion: the reduction of the heat load on the divertor plate, improvement of tritium inventory, impurity control, and helium ash removal.
