Vv. Chebotarev et al., THE PROSPECTS OF USING CARBON-GRAPHITE MATERIALS AS CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS OF THE MICROWAVE PLASMA DIAGNOSTIC IN A FUSION-REACTOR, Journal of nuclear materials, 215, 1994, pp. 1157-1162
The comparative study of working characteristics of some graphite and
metallic components of SHF diagnostics, such as several kinds of anten
nae, plane reflectors and cylindrical waveguides are presented. To sim
ulate the consequence of a plasma disruption in large tokamaks on grap
hite-made antenna, we tested two antennae (MPG and ARV kinds of graphi
te) on the influence of power plasma flow: W greater than or equal to
1.10 MJ/m(2) with the time duration Delta t approximate to 0.1 ms. All
results show that the prospects to use graphite elements in a reactor
-scale fusion device are rather promising.
