Solid hydrogen pellet injector for T-10

Abstract

This article describes the first Soviet high-speed hydrogen pellet injector operating on T-10. An experimental investigation was done of the interaction process between the fuel pellet and the tokamak plasma and the diagnostics of the transfer process in the plasma. The system is calculated on the injection during the discharge pulse of a single pellet containing hydrogen with a velocity of up to 700 m/sec. The experiments conducted in T-10 have included an investigation of the limits of stability of the injection, the heat and particle transfer processes in the plasma and the effect of the injection on MHD perturbation.
