Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nuclear science and technology, and in particular to a system and method for measuring the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio in plasma. Background Art
[0002] Nuclear fusion energy is a safe, pollution-free, clean energy source. It is the final step in the three-step nuclear energy development strategy of "thermal reactors-fast reactors-fusion reactors" and may also be the ultimate solution to humanity's energy problems. Nuclear fusion energy is primarily produced through the fusion of hydrogen isotopes. Common fusion reactions include deuterium-deuterium reactions, deuterium-helium reactions, and deuterium-tritium reactions. Deuterium-tritium fusion reactions have a large cross section and high reactivity rate, making them the best choice for achieving nuclear fusion. Deuterium-tritium experiments at the European Union's JET facility and the US TFTR facility have demonstrated that the effective mass of the plasma has a significant impact on the heating effect of the fusion product alpha particles, the power threshold for high- and low-confinement mode conversion, and the confinement time. The effective mass of the plasma depends on the ratio of deuterium to tritium in the fuel, meaning that measuring the deuterium-tritium ratio directly affects the confinement performance of future fusion reactors. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a method for safely, accurately, and rapidly measuring the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio.
[0003] Currently, plasma diagnostics capable of measuring the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio include neutral particle analyzers (NPA) and laser-induced breakdown spectrometers (LIBS). PNA primarily determines the deuterium-tritium ratio by counting uncharged deuterium and tritium particles. This diagnostic can only measure deuterium and tritium particles that escape from the plasma confinement region. It accurately reflects the deuterium-tritium ratio only when the plasma is uniformly distributed, but real tokamak plasmas are often non-uniform. LIBS is an in-situ measurement diagnostic. It uses a laser to strike deuterium and tritium in a specific region, generating a spectrum of specific wavelengths. The spectral signatures are then measured to obtain relevant information about deuterium and tritium. This diagnostic has excellent spatial resolution and can only measure parameters in a limited region, but it is difficult to provide a comprehensive assessment of the plasma's deuterium-tritium fuel ratio. With the upcoming operation of the International Thermonuclear Test Reactor (ITR), the demand for deuterium-tritium fuel ratio measurement technology is becoming increasingly urgent. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is that the existing deuterium-tritium fuel ratio measurement technology is unable to make an overall evaluation of the unevenly distributed burning plasma, and thus is unable to calculate the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio in the unevenly distributed burning plasma. The purpose is to provide a system and method for measuring the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio in plasma, which solves the problem of being unable to calculate the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio in the unevenly distributed burning plasma.

[0048] The electron cyclotron radiometer 1 is primarily used to measure the frequency and displacement vector of the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode. Fourier analysis of the raw signal collected by the electron cyclotron radiometer 1 reveals the frequency of the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode. The electron cyclotron radiometer 1 can also measure the temperature disturbance of the burning plasma, from which the displacement vector ξ of the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode can be calculated.

[0056] Mirnov probe 3 is primarily used to measure the frequency and number of circumferential Alfvén eigenmodes. Fourier analysis is performed on the raw signal collected by Mirnov probe 3 to determine the frequency of the circumferential Alfvén eigenmodes. The number of circumferential Alfvén eigenmodes is determined by performing singular value decomposition (SVD) on the signal collected by Mirnov probe 3.
[0057] When the phase distribution collected by the Milnov probe 3 has a pair of peaks and troughs, the circumferential modulus is n=1; when the phase distribution has two pairs of peaks and troughs, the circumferential modulus is n=2, and so on.

When the frequency and time are selected, electron cyclotron radiation imaging 4 can intuitively reveal the mode structure. When a pair of hot and cold spots appears in the imaging area, the poloidal mode is m = 1; when two pairs of hot and cold spots appear, the poloidal mode is m = 2, and so on.

[0061] Interferometer 7 is mainly used to measure electron density <n>, it is necessary to perform Abel inversion on the measured data and finally input the electron density distribution into the high-performance computer 12.
[0062] The dynamic Stark effect spectrometer 8 is mainly used to measure the minimum safety factor and needs to be combined with equilibrium inversion programs such as EFIT for equilibrium reconstruction, and finally input the safety factor profile into the high-performance computer 12.
[0063] The magnetic coil 9 is mainly used to measure the magnetic field of the plasma discharge and ultimately input the magnetic field information into the high-performance computer 12 .
[0064] The charge exchange spectrometer 10 is mainly used to measure the plasma rotation frequency and ultimately input the rotation frequency information into the high performance computer 12 .
[0065] The second collector 11 is mainly used to collect measurement information of the interferometer 7, dynamic Stark effect spectrometer 8, magnetic coil 9, and charge exchange spectrometer 10. The specific data format must meet the data input format requirements of the high-performance computer 12 and the TAE frequency real-time processor 13.
[0066] The high-performance computer 12 has a built-in eigenvalue NOVA-K program, which only requires two major data: density distribution and safety factor distribution for numerical solution. It is mainly used for the frequency, circumferential modulus, displacement vector and mode structure of TAE. The required input includes the electron density distribution, safety factor distribution, magnetic field strength and plasma rotation frequency measured by the acquisition interferometer 7, dynamic Stark effect spectrometer 8, magnetic coil 9 and charge exchange spectrometer 10.
[0067] The core component of the TAE frequency real-time processor 13 is the FPGA core, which is mainly used to compare the frequency, modulus and displacement vector output by the high-performance computer 12 and the central processing unit 6.
[0068] When all three are inconsistent, it indicates that the instability measured in the system is not the circumferential Alfvén eigenmode, and the deuterium-tritium ratio cannot be measured at this time;
[0069] When all three are consistent, it indicates that the instability measured in the system is the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode.
[0070] When the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) is successfully determined, the TAE frequency real-time processor 13 calculates the TAE frequency in the deuterium-deuterium plasma under the same conditions based on the data input by the second collector 11. Finally, the formula Performing the calculation yields the deuterium-tritium fuel ratio.
[0071] The display 14 is mainly used to display the deuterium-tritium ratio in real time.
