Abstract
The ITER core charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (core CXRS) is a diagnostic system designed to collect the light emitted from interaction of the Diagnostic Neutral Beam (DNB) with the core plasma and guides it via a mirror labyrinth through the Upper Port Plug toward a fiber bundle, which then transmits the light to a set of spectrometers for spectral analysis. The first mirror (M1), being the most important part of the optical system which defines workability of the entire CXRS, works in direct view of the plasma. The latter strongly impacts the mirror causing its surface erosion and deposition with degradation of the optical capability. The fast shutter (FS) is supposed to play the main role in reducing the time of the first mirror exposition to the plasma. The performed work is focused on the detailed thermal and hydraulic analyses of the main components of the M1 protecting device (blades, arms and actuator) and its cooling and pneumatic systems. The performed analysis confirms, in general, the workability of the helium-operated shutter and verifies the pneumatic actuation concept proposed for the M1 protecting device.
