Analysis of an in-service rupture of the Inner First Wall of Tore Supra
R Mitteau, P Chappuis, G Martin +1
The last experimental campaign of Tore Supra was also the last one with a set of plasma facing components mainly dating from the assembly of the machine in 1988. This campaign was…
Heat flux deposition pattern on the inner first wall of Tore Supra
R Mitteau, M Chantant, P Chappuis +2
The Inner First Wall (IFW) is the main limiter in Tore Supra for long and powerful discharges. The original graphite IFW was partly damaged by 8 years of operation and a sector of…
Evidence of damage in carbon fibre composite tiles joined to a metallic heat sink under high heat flux fatigue
R Mitteau, P Chappuis, L Moncel +1
The two years experience with Active Metal Casting flat bonds shows that this technology is suitable for the heat fluxes expected in Tore Supra (10 MW/m). Tests were pursued…
Non destructive testing of actively cooled plasma facing components by means of thermal transient excitation and infrared imaging
R. Mitteau, S. Berrebi, P. Chappuis +7
SATIR is a new test-bed installed at Tore Supra to perform non destructive examination of actively cooled plasma facing components. Hot and cold water flow successively in the cool…
