Abstract
DEMO reactor with liquid lithium divertor operation in presence of krypton seeding is analyzed. Integrated core-scrape-off layer-divertor code COREDIV is used. Sputtering model is revised and sputtering dependence on the divertor surface temperature fitted to the experimental data is added. It was found that Kr seeding is beneficial for DEMO operation. Plasma fuel dilution by lithium ions is reduced to the level of 1% for high level of Kr seeding and fusion power is comparable to the modelling results for argon or neon seeded DEMO with tungsten divertor. Simulations show that high confinement mode is possible in presence of Kr seeding (power across the separatrix stays above the L-H threshold).
