Abstract
Ferromagnetic material is used to reduce the toroidal field ripple in JFT-2M [H. Kawashima, et al., Demonstration of ripple reduction by ferritic steel board insertion in JFT-2M, Nucl. Fusion, 41 (2001) 257–263] and JT-60U [H. Takenaga, the JT-60 Team, Overview of JT-60U results for development of steady-state advanced Tokamak scenario, Proceedings of the 21st IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Chengdu, China, 2006]. In ITER, since the ferromagnetic material is inserted in the space between the double walls of ITER Vacuum Vessel (VV), it is called “ferromagnetic inserts”. Suitable material is selected to satisfy the design requirements of ITER. The proper location and amount of the ferromagnetic inserts are optimized with the goal of reduction of the toroidal field ripple. The ferromagnetic inserts are designed to minimize electromagnetic forces acting on them. The electromagnetic forces have been calculated with the latest disruption scenarios. Magnetization forces due to magnetic fields have also been calculated. Structural integrity has been validated by a structural analysis.
