Abstract

Wall conditioning techniques tokamaks with a permanent magnetic field have been performed in Tore Supra by using an ion cyclotron range frequency (ICRF) facility. Plasmas have been produced by injection of ICRF power in the range from 40 kW to 350 kW either in helium or deuterium gas. Electron density in the range of 1 · 10 17 to 6 · 10 17 m −3 and electron temperatures from 1.5 to 8 eV have been measured depending on the gas pressure and injected power. Energetic neutral atoms of hydrogen and deuterium with energies up to 50 keV have been produced. High hydrogen removal rates have been obtained in helium discharges, either in a continuous or pulsed operation mode.
