The next step is to repeat these experiments with the two TDU scraper elements in place during OP1.2b and compare the neutral flux values to the above results in order to quantify the effect of the scraper element on neutral flux at the divertor for different values of IBS. Along with data from the neutral gas manometers, the impact on pumping efficiency can be measured, which will be one step in determining whether the scraper elements are a viable solution to the problem of heat flux overload caused by bootstrap current evolution during OP2.
