摘要
Ultra-long-pulse helium discharge with ion and electron cyclotron heating (ICH + ECH) in the Large Helical Device (LHD) was achieved in a 48 min plasma (n(e) similar to 1.2 x 10(19) m(-3), T-i,T-e similar to 2 keV) with an average heating power of 1.2 MW. The temperature of the first-wall surface during discharges remained at nearly room temperature. However, even in ultra-long-pulse helium discharge, the discharge conditions cannot be said to be in a steady-state, because of two major issues interrupting the steady-state condition. One is the "dynamic change of the wall pumping rate" and the other is the "termination of the discharge with the exfoliation of the mixed-material deposition layers." Microscopic modifications, such as helium radiation damage and the formation of the mixed-material deposition layers composed of C (similar to 98%) and Fe (similar to 2%), on the plasma facing components (PFMs) were clarified to possibly influence the major issues.
