JT-60U
1. Installation of ferritic steel tiles and its effects in L- and H-mode plasmas.
FSTs cover ~10% of the surface.
Large effect is obtained at BT < ~2 T.
3-D Monte-Carlo simulations (F3D OFMC) for fast ion behavior indicated that total NB absorbed power is increased by 30% (by 50% for perpendicular NB) in the large volume configuration.

Heat flux in the ripple trapped loss region measured with IRTV is consistent with that calculated by F3D OFMC.
Toroidal rotation shifts to co-direction due to the reduction of the fast ion loss.

Pedestal parameters and confinement are enhanced with co-rotation in H-mode.
Ip = 1.2 MA, BT = 2.6 T, q95 = 4.1, Vp = 75 m3
Pedestal pressure increases with the increase in toroidal rotation at the pedestal in co-direction.
Energy confinement is improved by enhancing core toroidal rotation in co-direction.
Pedestal pressure and confinement are raised with FSTs even at a given toroidal rotation.

Real time qmin control demonstrated with MSE diagnostics and LHCD at fBS=0.46.
• Reduction of fast ion loss due to the FSTs installation increases compatibility of LHCD with high power heating.
• qmin control is affected by dynamic behavior related to the strong linkage of p(r) and q(r).

Control for bootstrap sustained plasma (fBS~100%) is challenging.
Y. Takase (EX/1-4, Mon.)
Bootstrap sustained plasma can reduce center solenoid (CS) coil capability, which has a large impact on the economic aspect.
Nearly constant current (~0.54 MA) is maintained by BS current with constant ICS and negative NBCD current for ~1 second.
Both Wdia and Ip gradually decrease in the strong linkage even with constant Wdia control.

NTM suppression by ECCDJEC/JBS
Dependence of EC deposition positionModeling
• Behavior of energetic ions with Alfvén eigenmodesNeutron emission profile measurementsComparison with classical calculation
• ELM propagation in SOL plasmaMeasurements with multi reciprocating probes (LFS and HFS)
JT-60U
2/1 NTM is suppressed at JEC=0.5JBS with well aligned ECCD to q=2 surface.
• 2/1 NTM is destabilized with the misalignment comparable to the island width.
• TOPICS simulation well reproduces the experimental results with the same set of coefficients of the modified Rutherford equation.

Energetic ions are transported from core region due to AEs with moderate amplitude.

• Understanding of the alpha particle transport in the presence of AEs is one of the urgent research issues for ITER.

The measured neutron yield is significantly smaller than the classical calculation during AEs with moderate amplitude in the central region.
