The results, demonstrated by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and collaborators on China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) found that lithium powder can eliminate instabilities known as edge - localized modes (ELMs) when used to coat a tungsten plasma - facing component called the «divertor» — the unit that
exhausts waste heat and particles from plasma that fuels fusion reactions.
Fusion generators are expected to operate for 12 months before needing costly maintenance, putting additional strain on internal parts including plasma facing components (PFCs) in the divertor — the region that
exhausts waste heat coming from the plasma.
In the recent experiments, researchers manipulated the plasma within EAST so that
it exhausted its waste heat on the upper of the two divertors within the tokamak.
New findings led by C.S. Chang of PPPL show that ITER, the international fusion experiment under construction in France, should be able to withstand the enormous heat load that will strike the divertor plates that
exhaust waste heat from the facility.
His design calls for loops of liquid lithium to clean and recycle tritium, a key fusion fuel ingredient, while protecting tokamak components that
exhaust waste heat, and cleaning dust and other impurities from the tokamak — all at the same time.
In fact the GHGs will actually cool down by slightly heating the air by molecular collisions, and result in the energy - out flux slightly increasing by a trivial amount to
exhaust this waste heat to space.
