Kstar (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research, 국가핵융합연구장치) ICRF(Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequency) 가열장치를 이용한 이온가열을 추가 gas puffing 과 함께 수행할 예정이다. 안테나와 separatrix사이 간격이 좁혀질수록 안테나의 고주파 부하저항은 올라가는 것으로 알려져 있지만, 안테나에서의 sputtering을 통한 불순물 증가의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 전체 플라즈마 에너지의 손실을 초래할 수 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 고주파 입사시 플라즈마 외곽, 안테나 전면에 추가적인 연료 가스를 공급하게 되면, 안테나 주위의 플라즈마는 냉각되어 sputtering에 의한 불순물 방출을 줄일 수 있고, 안테나 전면의 플라즈마 밀도는 증가될 것이다. 이를 통한 고주파 부하저항의 증가에 의하여 동일한 고주파 최고전압의 한계 내에서 기존보다 더 큰 출력을 플라즈마에 전달할 수 있을 것이다. 본 발표에서는 단순한 외곽 플라즈마 모델에서의 고속파 전파에 따른 고주파 부하저항의 거동을 살펴봄으로써 예상할 수 있는 추가 gas puffing 효과와 출력 증대량을 설명하고, 구체적인 실험 방법을 토론하도록 하겠다.

With a specific model for the Helicoflex type metal gasket expected to be used in large ports of the KSTAR vacuum vessel, a sealing curve was obtained by measuring the flange tightening properties such as the correlations of the tightening torque(or linear load), displacement to the leak rate. From the experiment results it was found that the leak rate of the Helicoflex seal in the room temperature was bellow $2\times10^{-1}\textrm{mbar\cdot L/s}$ with a tightening torque of 2500kgf . cm using Ml8 bolts.

A 1-MW vacuum feedthrough for the KSTAR ICRF antenna is fabricated and high power RF test is performed. It is designed to have two alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ ceramic cylinders and O-ring seal instead of a brazed seal for good mechanical and thermal strength, which is important in long pulse or steady state operation. For cooling of the ceramics, dry air is circulated in a space between the two cylinders and the outer conductor. Independent cooling water channels are installed to cool the inner conductor of the feedthrough. RF high voltage test is performed using two kinds of ceramics with the purities of 99.7% and 97%. Stable operation is possible with the RF voltage of 30 kVp at long pulse of 300 sec without any severe damage.

The pressure distributions in the test stand built for developing KSTAR NBI ion sources were obtained using a network system composed of conductance elements modeling the ion source, the neutralizer, and other beam line components. The allowable regime was defined on the coordinates of the gas supply rate to the ion source and the neutralizer, considering the proper conditions of the three critical parameters, the ion source pressure for good arc discharge, the pressure integral in the neutralizer for sufficient neutralization, and the chamber pressure for minimum neutral beam loss. The neutral beam evolution along the path from the ion source extraction grid to the calorimeter through the neutralizer, the bending magnet and the vacuum chamber was estimated for typical pressure distributions.
