Abstract
Oxygen impurity behaviors of one long duration discharge and repetition of short duration discharges have been investigated in TRIAM-1M. In the former case, the OII line intensity divided by the line averaged electron density, which is considered as a monitor of oxygen concentration on the plasma facing surface (PFS), decreased with the time constant, τd, of 30–50s during the discharge due to the hydrogen flux to PFS. In the latter case, τd is in the range of 70–600s. There exists a big difference of global behavior of oxygen impurity between both cases. The difference seems to result from the absence or presence of the interval time between the discharges. The oxygen concentration on PFS increases during the interval time due to adsorption of H2O. The time constant of the increase in the oxygen concentration is evaluated to be about 5500s from Langmuir adsorption isotherms analysis.
