The observed characteristics of magnetic oscillations in L-H transition and disruption are described. Two kinds of MHD magnetic probes are used in order to cover broadband frequency range from 1.3 kHz to 300 kHz in the H-mode. Depending on the probe's position and frequency, different characteristics are observed. Precursor like oscillation in L-H transition, and the difference between sawtooth and ELM are discussed. All disruptions during the current rising phase are related with m＝2 or m＝3 mode. Different disruption characteristics for different operation conditions could be found in the MHD probes.

A tomography algorithm to maximize the entropy of image using Lagrangian multiplier technique and conjugate gradient method has been designed for the measurement of 2D spatial distribution of intense neutral beams of KSTAR NBI(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research Neutral Beam Injector) which is now being designed. A possible detection system was assumed and a numerical simulation has been implemented to test the reconstruction quality of given beam profiles. This algorithm has the good applicability for sparse projection data and thus, can be used for the neutral beam tomography.

Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) system is being developed in KAERI based on high power gyrotrons. CTS is a promising diagnostic method to measure fast ion distributions and potentially the fusion product alpha particles in magnetically confined plasmas. By utilizing millimeter-waves from high power gyrotrons as a probing beam, spatially and temporally resolved 1-D ion velocity distributions can be obtained from the scattered radiation with less scattering geometrical constraints. The pulse modulation of gyrotrons enables to separate scattering signal from ECE background noises. The feasibility was assessed with the calculation of spectral density functions under the condition of KSTAR plasmas. Further CTS system requirements are also discussed.

A fast-sweep broadband FM reflectometer system has been successfully developed and operacted at the DIII-D tokamak, producing reliable density Profiles with excellent spatial (1 $\leq$ cm) and temporal resolution (~100 $\mu$ s). The system uses a solid-state microwave oscillator and an active quadrupler, covering full Q-band frequencies (33~50 GHz) and providing relatively high output power (20~60 mW). The system hardware allows fu11band frequency sweep in 10 $\mu$ s, but due to digitization rate limit on DIII-D, sweep time was limited to 75~100 $\mu$ s. Fast frequency sweep has helped to reduce density fluctuation effects on the reflectometer phase measurements, thus improving reliability for individual sweeps. The fast-sweep system with high spatial and temporal resolution has allowed to measure fast-changing edge density profiles during plasma ELMS and L-H transitions, thus enabling fast-time sca1e physics studies.

Fixed boundary MHD static equilibrium for the axisymmetric toroidal plasma is analyzed numerically. The Grad-Shafranov equation is solved using finite element method. The toroidal current term is expressed by plasma pressure and toroidal field function. The numerical results are compared to the Solovev analytic equilibrium for the verification of the solution. For SNUT-79 tokamak device in Seoul National University, the flux surfaces, the toroidal current profiles, the safety factor q and average beta values are obtained when the p and g profiles are varied.

핵융합 반응을 일으키기 위한 조건으로써는 핵융합 연료를 초 고온 (1억도 이상)의 플라즈마 상태로 그 밀도와 밀폐(반응)시간의 곱이 $10^{20}$sec/m$^{3}$ 이상에 도달하도록 핵융합 반응 공간내에 밀폐시켜야 한다[1]. 현재까지의 밀폐방식으로는 강력한 전자석의 전자력을 이용하는 자계 밀폐방식 (Magnetic Confinement)과 레이져등을 이용하는 관성 밀폐 방식(Inertial Confinement)이 있다. 강력한 자장 발생이 용이한 특징을 지닌 초전도자석이 요구되는 자계 밀폐방식에도 여러가지 방식이 있으나, 크게 분류해 보면 원환체 (Torus)상의 자장을 발생시키는 토러스 밀폐방식과 직선상의 자장을 발생시키는 개방형 밀폐방식으로 대별되며 그 중에서도 핵융합 반응을 일으키기 위한 조건에 가장 근접한 플라즈마를 실현시키고 있는 토러스 밀폐방식의 일종인 토카막(Tokamak) 핵융합장치용 초전도자석에 대해 고찰한다.

KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research)의 보조 가열장치 중에 하나인 중성입자 빔 가열장치의 열량을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 실시간으로 열량을 측정하기위해 중성입자 빔 발생장치의 말단에 위치한 열량계(Calorimeter)의 냉각수 입 출구 온도를 온도센서 중의 하나인 열전대를 이용하여 측정하고 이를 열량 측정을 위해 개발한 알고리듬을 이용하여 실시간으로 중성입자 빔의 열량으로 연산한다. 연산된 열량은 사용자 인터페이스 화면에 출력하여 매 실험마다 열량계에 입사된 열량을 실시간으로 확인이 가능하도록 하였다.

Filament power supply (FPS) for neutral beam injection (NBI) consists of an insulation type is a device that heats the interior of Tokamak. The input/output specifications of FPS are 3-phase AC 200[Vpeak] and DC16V/300A respectively. A conventional FPS is composed of a 3-phase diode rectifier with DC-link, a H-bridge DC/DC converter, a high frequency transformer, a secondary rectifier and a LC-filter. In this paper, to improve the efficiency of PSFB DC/DC converter it is substituted IGBT devices instead of diode rectifier in secondary side. The proposed method is verified by computer simulation and experiment result.

토카막(Tokamak)형 핵융합실험장치의 초전도전자석 전원공급장치는 수 kV, 수십 kA의 대전력 직류전원를 얻기 위한 ac-dc 컨버터가 필요하다. 이와 같은 고전압, 대전류 사양을 얻기 위하여 일반적으로 thyristor ac-dc 컨버터를 사용하며, 필요한 전류사양을 충족하기 위하여 다수의 대전류용 thyristor 소자를 병렬로 연결하여 각 암(arm)의 스위치를 구성한다. 이와 같이 다수의 반도체 스위치 소자를 병렬로 연결하여 사용하는 경우에는 각 단위 소자별 전압강하, 직렬회로 임피던스 및 전류 경로 차이 등의 이유로 균등한 전류 배분을 얻기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 각 암(arm)마다 8개씩의 대전류 thyristor 를 병렬로 연결 구성하여 제작한 시작품 단상 컨버터에 대한 전류배분 실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석 및 정리한다.
