The base pressure of the vacuum vessel of KSTAR tokamak is to be ultra high vacuum, $10^{-6}\sim10^{-7}Pa$, to produce a clean plasma with low impurity concentrations. For this purpose, vessel and plasma facing components need to be baked up to $250^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$ respectively to remove impurities from the plasma-material interaction surfaces. Here the required heating power to be supplied for baking has been calculated according to pre-assumed different temperature profiles (baking scenario and proper baking plan for KSTAR tokamak has been proposed. Mass flow rate and temperature of nitrogen gas for baking has also been calculated.

The characteristics of Nb3Sn strands shich will be used for the been investigated. The physics requirements for the KSTAR operation demands the two conditions, high non-Cu critical current density and low contradictory to each other. It is recent that superconductor manufacturers. IGC and Mitsubishi, have succeded in the production of the strand which satisfies the ITER HP-1 and HP-2 conditions at the same time. It has been determined that this type of strand, so-called HP-3, will be used for the KSTAR magnets and its properties, critical current density and hysteresis loss investigated by the several institutes are presented here. On the basis of the round robin tests for many strand samples under various optimized and the vendor will be seleted.

Large superconducting magnets such as ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Research) or KSTAR (Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) magnet system adopted a cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) using a forced-flow cooling system. Main optimization criteria for the conductor design of superconducting magnet system are stability margin and CICC cooling requirements. A zero-dimensional method is applied for the calculation of stability and the conductor optimization. In order to increase conductor performance, three different strands, ITER HP-I and HP-II, and KSTAR HP-Ⅲ, are tested. The strand characteristics of KSTAR HP-Ⅲ are measured in the Samsung's PPMS and Jc measurement system, and applied for this study. Also, the strand diameters, 0.81 mm and 0.78 mm are considered for this study, due to design change. Based on this result, the proposed configuration of CICC has been fabricated.

KSTAR 토카막 플라즈마의 전자온도 측정을 위한 전자 사이클로트론 방출(ECE) 진단계가 완성되어 KSTAR 3차 운전기간 동안 전자온도를 측정하였다. ECE 진단계는 2단의 헤테로다인 수신기 2개와 75채널의 RF 검출기 그리고 비디오 증폭기로 이루어져있다. 2개의 헤테로다인 수신기의 주파수 범위는 각각 110 GHz~162 GHz, 164 GHz~196 GHz 이며 163 GHz multiplexer에 의해 ECE power를 나눠갖는다. 각 채널 사이의 주파수 간격은 1 GHz이며 토로이달 자장을 2.5T로 운전한다면 플라즈마 반경방향의 모든 위치에서 측정이 가능하다. 또한 시간분해능도 100 kHz로 우수하여 반경방향의 전자온도분포의 시간 변화를 측정할 수 있다. 이 포스터에서는 2010년 KSTAR 실험동안 반경위치에 대한 전자온도를 측정과 sawtooth, ELM 등 MHD 현상 관측 결과에 대해 발표하였다. 그리고 중성빔(NB) 가열을 하는 동안 나타난 H-mode 때 전자온도의 변화도 살펴보았다.

Deuterium-tritium reaction is the most promising one in term of the highest nuclear fusion cross-section for the reactor. So it is one of urgent issues to develop materials and components that are simultaneously resistant to high heat flux and high energy neutron flux in realization of the fusion energy. 2.45 MeV neutron production was reported in D-D reaction in KSTAR and regarded as beam-target is the dominant process. The feasibility study of KSTAR to wide area neutron source facility is done in term of D-D and D-T reactions from the empirical scaling law from the mixed fast and thermal stored energy and its projection to cases of heating power upgrade and DT reaction is done.

지구상에서 태양과 같이 핵융합 반응을 일으키기 위해서는 비슷한 환경을 만들어 주어야 한다. 원자핵들이 서로 반발하는 핵력을 이기고 핵융합 반응을 인공적으로 유지시켜주기 위해서는 연료인 중수소와 중수소(또는 삼중수소)를 플라즈마 상태로 만들어 입자들의 에너지를 높여주고 자기장에 의해 이 플라즈마를 가두어야 한다.

살랑살랑 봄바람이 이는 4월 어느 날, 설비기술개발부를 찾았다. KSTAR의 가장 기본적으로 필요한 인프라 유틸리티를 제공하는 설비기술개발부는 겉으로 드러나진 않지만 없어서는 안 될 NFRI의 숨은 보석 같은 존재다.
