VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND VTT PROCESSES Tekes Contribution to European Fusion Roadmap Seppo Karttunen and Tuomas Tala VTT / Association Euratom-Tekes

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND VTT PROCESSES Outline: - present Tekes programme - future plans to participate in fusion experiments - EFDA physics and materials as well as the PPPT activities - ITER and F 4 E R&D contributions

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND VTT PROCESSES Present Tekes Programme EFDA Activities (28 ppy): • JET and AUG experiments and modelling • Diagnostics development • Code development and integration • Task Forces PWI and ITM • Materials modelling • Goal Oriented Training F 4 E & ITER Activities (18 ppy): • DTP 2 platform for divertor maintenance studies, hosted by VTT in Tampere • Magnetic diagnostics • Assembly welding tools and robots • CODAC

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND Future Participation in JET and AUG Experiments VTT PROCESSES For Association Tekes, participation in JET activities is vital: • Task Force Leaders/Deputies (presently 3) • S/T Order and Notifications and JOC secondees (presently 2) • In near future ITER-like Wall (ILW) experiment at high priority • Preparation in the DT campaign • Real European-wide collaboration very important to a small association • Estonian Research Unit participates in the JET TF-FT work programme Active involvement in the AUG workprogramme to be continued: • AUG experiments and modelling (plasma-wall, edge, transport, fast particles, …) • Diagnostics development • Ceiling of Baseline Support (BS) a real problem here Future devices where collaboration foreseen: W 7 -X, Satellite tokamaks (JT-60 SA, …)

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND VTT PROCESSES Future EFDA Physics & Materials Activities t Emphasis in EFDA physics studies on § Transport, SOL, plasma-wall and burning plasma physics studies (JET, AUG, TF-PWI, TGs, ITPA) § Modelling, code development (ASCOT, ELMFIRE) and integration (TF-ITM) § Diagnostics development (JET, AUG & F 4 E/ITER) § Goal Oriented Training § Estonian Research Unit participates in the TF-PWI work programme Materials research mainly for PPPT - Fe. Cr. C-potential and He effects in stainless steels - MD simulations of mixed materials of PFC - ODS steels characterisation - Be-C-W-potentials, Be. D chemical erosion

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND VTT PROCESSES EFDA Power Plant Physics and Technology Tekes will participate in the 3 PT Implementing Agreement which is under preparation • modelling (edge/SOL, fast particles, transport, integrated modelling) • materials research • diagnostics (NPA and magnetics) • remote handling PS funding and BS ceiling are serious issues, in particular, if some of the present F 4 E/ITER activity is replaced by EFDA Tasks

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND R&D Contribution for F 4 E and ITER • To develop the Divertor Test Platform (DTP 2) as a R&D and testing centre for remote handling operations for ITER • Diagnostics – micromechanical magnetometer (MEMS) • Assembly welding issues and welding robots • Materials research • ITER scenario development and modelling support • R&D support to industry related to ITER procurements • ITER CODAC work VTT PROCESSES

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND Summary / Future EFDA priorities for Tekes 1) JET has the highest priority - it is very important to small Associations - it strengthens the integration of the EU programme 2) AUG is also very important for Tekes programme - flexible machine - Tekes integrated really well into the AUG workprogramme 3) PPPT / Demo - remote handling - materials and plasma modelling 4) F 4 E and ITER - remote handling systems - diagnostics - assembly welding issues and robot - ITER scenario modelling VTT PROCESSES
